Hello, Cupcake:
Love this book! The pictures are great, and all of the instructions are included for everything from how to frost to how to cool and bake. Great book!
Great Book!:
This book is great! There are some awesome ideas in here and they really spell out the directions to make it as easy as possible for the everyday baker to pull it off. I acutally just did the spaghetti & meatballs for Thanksgiving! Everybody got a kick out of them! Nobody even realized they were cupcakes until they got up close! Lots of fun!!!!
A wonderful creative resource!:
I have had the pleasure of meeting both Karen Tack and Alan Richardson at Sur La Table in Manhasset and I have to say this team is wonderful! Karen is such a talent! Her ideas are whimsical and fun and easy to create on your own. Alan's photography makes this book such eye candy you can't help but want to get started right away on your next party! Thanks Karen and Alan for sharing your talent and ideas!
