The endlessly imaginative duo who turned cupcaking into a national pastime is back, with utterly new, eye-popping creations anyone can make. Create a race-car cupcake, a robot cupcake, or ravishing jewelry cupcakes for a birthday party. Surprise the family with Chinese takeout dinner cupcakes on April Fool's or serve up a goofy chocolate moose. Captivate Mom with a bouquet of long-stemmed rose cupcakes and build sand castle cupcakes with the kids. All you need are candies from the corner store and cake mix and canned frosting.
So what is new, Cupcake?
• Dozens of "EZ" projects that use just a few ingredients—perfect for kids and parties.
• More pictures, brighter colors, bolder designs.
• More faux-food creations—so real you won't believe they're cupcakes!
• More comical critters and the cutest pets ever!
• More irresistible party centerpieces to celebrate hobbies, from golf to knitting.
• More spectacular holiday cupcakes: Valentine's, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
You'll end up with cupcakes so striking that you won't want to eat them—but so delicious you'll have no choice!
The authors of Hello, Cupcake are back, this time with the promise of simpler recipes. Relying on doctored, store-bought cake mixes and the option of canned frostings, recipe time is used primarily for assembling and decorating cupcakes that take the form of animals, food items, and holiday-inspired scenes. The TOC may leave readers guessing recipe selections with chapter names such as “I Thought You Ordered Chocolate Moose” and “The House that Boo Built,” but the unconventional names embody the playful spirit of this title. Basic techniques, including filling cupcake liners and frosting cupcakes, are explained, and recipes are formatted into clear, easy-to-understand numbered steps accompanied by full-color photos. Kids and adults alike will find joy in the many artful creations, including a “pizza” supported by cupcakes and topped with fruit “pepperoni”; a banana split with cupcakes in the form of ice cream scoops, and Chinese takeout complete with Tootsie Roll broccoli florets. This is an innovative title that doesn't hold back. (Apr.)

What's New, Cupcake?: Ingeniously Simple Designs for Every Occasion
Wow, there are undoubtedly some truly adorable and amazing cupcakes in this book, designs for every occasion and idea that look super easy to create, but I hesitate and wonder...has anyone actually attempted any of these recipes, and did they come out as beautiful as the ones pictured? This book does give wonderful tips on the basics of making great cupcakes, like filling liners, frosting, tinting sugars and making basic shapes, not to mention the tons of ideas cooks can use to design shapes and decorate their cupcakes from simple everyday sweets from laffy taffy and M & M's to circus peanuts. There are even great sections like holidays, birthdays and the "April Fool's Play" where you create cupcakes that are meant to look like real food such as pizza and the super cool Chinese takeout. But how many of these recipes are actually edible, or are more show pieces, and do you really want to be eating something that has been touched so much? Some of it looks quite tedious, and there are no prep times included in the book (I received an uncorrected proof, if anyone has a final copy pls. let me know if prep times are included, and I will gladly redact this statement). All in all this book is organized well, filled with great ideas and well detailed, but are they really as easy to create and use for the regular at home cook?
