From the creators of the New York Times Best Seller HELLO CUPCAKE. Those crazy cupcakes are at it again! A brand new collection of quirky and stunning cupcakes projects for every occasion. The endlessly imaginative duo who turned cup caking into a national pastime is back, with utterly new, eye-popping creations anyone can make. Create a race-car cupcake, a robot cupcake, or ravishing jewellery cupcakes for a birthday party.

Captivate Mum with a bouquet of long-stemmed rose cupcakes and build sand castle cupcakes with the kids. All you need are sweeties from the corner shop and cake mix and some supermarket icing.

GOOD POINTS
1) Great ideas
2) Good read, if you like reading cookbooks. Photos are good too.
BAD POINTS
1) Almost all the recipes call for sweets that you can't get in the UK. However, that just gives more impetus to think creatively, so can't dock a star for that.
2) The reason I have docked a star is the lack of recipes for frosting/icing. There are a few recipes at the back, but this is based entirely on US shop-bought frosting. If you are spending hours piping shuttlecock feathers out of white chocolate, or rolling out caramels and cutting into intricate shapes, it seems daft to not spend five minutes weighing out some butter and icing sugar etc...
On the whole though, it is a great little book.

Format:Paperback
As with the first book in this series (Hello Cupcake), this book is pretty and fun, but ultimately disappointing as a cookery book. There are no recipes that do not start with 'take a shop bought cake mix ....'. I can understand this if the book was aimed at 'quick cupackes' or similar, but since most of the designs will take an age to complete, it seems a shame to 'save' ten minutes using a pre-mix rather than fresh ingredients.
The ideas are fun and I enjoyed looking at them. The book is extremely US centric though, and I found it tedious to translate the ingredients into local equivalents. This is necessary for almost all ingredients except the flour!
In summary: Buy this book for fun ideas and inspiration only. Do not buy it if you want recipe ideas or prefer to follow instructions to the letter (that will only be possible in the US, with a significant $$ injection into ingredients).
P.S. If you are after a real cupcake recipe book I recommend 'Cupcakes: Over 80 Delicious Recipes for All Occasions and Tastes (Spiral-bound)' by Sue McMahon. Lots of fab recipes, in an easy to use book.

Format:Paperback
A lovely book full of great ideas and instructions. However, as it is written by an American author most of the ingredients used cannot be sourced in this country so the same results cannot be obtained. A real shame as I was looking forward to creating some masterpiecesWhat's New, Cupcake?: Ingeniously Simple Designs for Every Occasion
