Cupcake decorating has evolved quite a bit since this book came out, but it covers all the basic recipes and some basic techniques, so you can unleash your creativity.

Another over the top baking book to impress and comsume days of preparation. However, the 'basic' recipes are perfect, easy, and do not include shortening, which I hate.

I like this book but rarely use it
