I recently walked into a local book store and my eye immediately fell on this little gem of a book.
Of course, I couldn't help myself and bought it. After reading the Amazon review and paging through the book I am really glad I did buy it.
Once upon a time, cupcakes were only a kid-friendly party favorite. No longer! Cupcakes are now the treat of the times, at once simple and chic. 500 Cupcakes is just that: a storehouse of recipes, written in clear instructions and appealingly packaged in bright, modern colors. 500 Cupcakes from front to back provides what bakers of all levels need to produce tempting creations. The introduction provides a comprehensive look at equipment and ingredients, plus a description of the cupcake-making process, from getting started to storing and transporting the yummy results. The collection of recipes span from classic flavors and shapes to new favorites for every style and taste including recipes for alternate diets. Each recipe is written in clear language (great for the novice baker), and every one features three variations on the basic recipe (great for the experienced baker seeking new flavors). The page design is attractive, featuring over 200 enticing pictures of cupcakes in the pan and on the serving plate 500 Cupcakes really is the only cupcake compendium you ll ever need !
My initial idea was to do a Julie Powell (Julie & Julia) and bake 500 recipes in 500 days...... Then I thought better! :-) So, my dear cupcake friends, you'll have to bear with me because it's going to take a lot longer to try each of the 500 recipes.
Happy baking!
