Super-Duper Cupcakes: Kids' Creations from the Cupcake Caboose

by Elaine Cohen

These cupcakes—from the owner of the Cupcake Caboose Company—are the yummiest and best looking ever! They come in sweet chocolate or creamy vanilla, dyed and decorated with dazzling designs. Best of all, every kid can make one. Ambitious little bakers will enlist a parent’s help and start from scratch, using the well-illustrated recipes for both cupcakes and frosting. Or they might want to get creative with store-bought pastries, mixes, and packaged icings. Either way, becoming a “cupcake artist” is easy, especially with the handy “cupcake key” to explain which are simplest and which need a little more practice. It’s delicious fun!

I must admit, I am only talented enough to make the cupcakes in this book that are a level 1 or level 2 difficulty. :-) So I can't do a lot of the super cute items. But I do love the two recipes for the cake and her buttercream is to die for (I actually end up reducing some of the powdered sugar from it just because I can hear my teeth rotting as my tongue is tickled from the pleasure of the sugar rush).

Anyway, they are adorable cupcakes.

The recipes are not anything stupendous, but there are some cute ideas for decorating your cupcakes, esp. for different holidays and that are simple enough for children to assist with while still looking professional.

This book made my love of cupcakes. Some recipes I wouldn't go for, but a lot of them are sweet and yummy. Great!
