Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-09 00:00:00 Robert Miller This book was fun. I made some of the cake balls for my book club and they were a big hit. They are really very tasty and pretty easy, but they look like something you would find at a bakery. I like cookbooks like this one with color pictures and step by step instructions. Additionally, the spiral type of binding is great because it will lay flat on the counter when you are trying to read it and bake at the same time.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-04 00:00:00 Warren Wong Bakerella needs no introduction I'm sure. Her adorable cake pops have taken the crafty baking community by storm. If you haven't heard of her or Cake Pops yet, Cake Pops are very cute cake on a lollipop stick. She forms cake into animals, miniature cupcakes and all sorts of other cute things, and dips them in candy coating. Darling mouthfuls of cake that are sure to be impressive for parties and bake sales. This book has the basic technique for making them using boxed cake mixed and jars of frosting. The ease of the basic technique will just astound and delight busy people. The craftiness to decorate them makes them a great project. You honestly need no special skills to make these wonderful creations. You don't need to know the difference between tips for a pastry bag, and you don't need to be able to make a perfect cake from scratch. The supplies are all fairly easy to find and affordable. This book has over 40 cake pop designs that will suit every occasion. Little sports inspired ball cakes for the sports enthusiast in your family to little skull pops for Halloween, the ideas in this book can keep you busy for a long time and inspire more ideas. You'll look at canape cutters and candy differently imagining what you can make using them. One of my favorites is the clown pops which use burnt peanuts in a very clever way for hair. Spiral bound so it lies flat when open, this is a fantastic book to share with a teen or pre-teen. My daughter was even more enthused than I was by it. I expect Dalek and Tardis cake pops in our future.
