Gr 3-7–It’s essential to know that this is not primarily a cookbook but more of a craft book for bakers who want to learn how to create and implement cute yet simple designs for cupcakes. The opening includes simple recipes for cupcakes and for frosting of various flavors (vanilla and chocolate), then continues to the focus of the text, which is the decorating aspect of baking. The decorations have various instructions based on the design for each batch of cupcakes. Step-by-step instructions, accompanied by inset photos, explain how to decorate each individual cupcake so that it looks like it was done by a professional. The recipes are categorized by themes and designs (animals, faces, holidays, etc.) with basic instructions that allow flexibility for each recipe. Attractive images display ingredients (with labels), basic decorating tips (frosting, using a candy mold, cutting marshmallows, etc.), and finished products, with charming doodles enhancing the photography.
