Great stuff! October 12, 2008

This is a fabulous guide to the time-honoured art of baking cupcakes. Although my wife Doreen has never been much of a cook, her sister Rose recently came to visit for a weekend and made up some delicious cakes during her stay. We were all so impressed that I decided to pick up a copy of this excellent recipe-book for Doreen. I'm sorry to say that the results of her labours have been little short of catastrophic (although it would hardly be fair if I were to blame the author of this book for my wife's gross ineptitude).
Anyway, I shall never forget the powerful aroma that was floating around our house that day. After the cakes had been withdrawn from the oven and left to stand, it wasn't long before I was lured towards the kitchen by the scent. As the author reminds us, it is essential to allow the cakes to cool for an adequate period of time before serving. Seeing as they had been left unsupervised, however, I just couldn't help myself! Unfortunately it was at this very moment that Doreen made a move for the kitchen, in order to fix herself yet another generous serving of absinthe and raspberryade. You would not have believed the look of fury that registered on her face- when she realised that I was on the verge of squirting a generous dollop of icing all over her sister's red-hot cupcakes!!!

I have purchased Kates cakes so I just had to buy her book and have a go. They are fantastic - her receipes and ideas are brilliant and you won't be disappointed. The pictures are stunning and even if you don't get round to baking the cakes, it is a lovely book to look at and have out in your kitchen.

Every woman should own Cupcake Magic!
Receipes very easy to follow
Interesting & Tasty Receipes
There's a receipe for all levels of cooks as i'm a novice myself and found it straight forward - I've only baked 2 cupcakes so far as purchased this book last week; went down a treat with my mother-in-law and grandma.
Hope to enjoy more cupcakes!!!

Being new to the cupcake scene I decided to buy a little book for inspiration. Cupcake Magic has provided just that! Not only does it have recipes for icing and cake mixtures but also decorating ideas-with instruction and pictures too. If you are a bit of a novice to cake making (like me) this is the perfect book but I'm also guessing that if you're an experienced cupcake Connoisseur, this will provide some great ideas and a whole lot of inspiration. Another couple of bonuses are the light hearted way it is written and the onus on freerange!

Although I have a book-shelf heaving with cake & baking books, I just couldn't resist this one.
Kate's style is informative, friendly and fun and the books' design and lay-out make it a pleasure to use. The ingredients are clearly listed, along with many handy hints & tips, and the instructions are easy to follow.
The chapters are helpfully ordered in order of 'faffdom', which makes deciding which cakes to make all the easier.
I made some of her low-faff cakes and iced them following her recipes and they were a great success.I intend to bake many more!
An excellent little book, I love it.
