Cupcake Decorating Lab: 52 Techniques, Recipes, and Inspiring Designs for Your Favorite Sweet Treats! (Lab Series)

This book is so well written that anyone who has a thread of creativity can be inspired to try new techniques AND it's not all fondant, it's actually technique. I heard her interview on Mark Lapinski's Creative MoJo podcast and was charmed by her. This book does not disappoint

Another review mentioned getting this for a young girl and that seems appropriate. My high school senior sister could benefit from some of the techniques in this book. There are some cute ideas, but it is pretty basic stuff. If you are just beginning decorating cupcakes and want some instruction and ideas this would be good. The explanations seem helpful and there are pictures of the process. If you are more experienced, this is probably not the book for you. There are frosting recipes, but no cupcake recipes. It seems like at least a few basic ones should have been included.

I have looked through my new book and can't wait to try some of the things in it. It is well illustrated so it is easy to follow along.

It wasn't at all what I expected. It didn't show you how to do decorative cupcakes. It talked and explained things like you were a 12 year old. I did order a second book for a Christmas present for my granddaughter. She will enjoy learning the basis of how to bake and frost a cupcake.i guess I ll have to wait and see if book 2 comes out to explain the decorative side of the cupcake decorating.

This cupcake decorating book is great, and easy ways to make them tasty and creative ways to decorate them without being a pastry chef.

I love cookbooks and this one has great pictures, I like that I am able to see what's inside with amazon.

Excellent variety for cupcake ideas.

The cover pictures of this book are outstanding. However, inside not so great and to me the visual in decorating is very important. More defined, clear pictures would be helpful. This one is not one of my favorites...Sorry.

I liked the fact that the receipts are easy to follow and takes just a few minutes to do so.Above all else it makes a lot of cupcakes at a go.Though some the ingredients are difficult to find in Zambia, i can still improvise and the cupcakes come out great.For example Buttermilk is not available,i use full cream milk mixed with lemon juice.Some decorations need practice but the rest are easy as 1,2,3 to follow.I also appreciated the measurements are almost universal i do not need to struggle to make conversions,which can be a trial.

Lots of great cakes and very nice photographs. Good for a beginner or someone who wants to improve their technique or needs some new ideas. The only negative is that it is very expensive for the size. I expected a big hardback book for the price but got a small softback,albeit good quality paper.

Can't wait to try some recipes

Really helpful for working on my icing techniques. My family and colleagues are enjoying the improvements!

Very compact book, but great ideas and recipes
