This is a US publication and measurements are in imperial - pounds, ounces, inches, cups and spoons. There are lots of great cupcake recipes in this book, plus many of the designs in the book are more about technique and good ideas than measurement, the fact that measurements are in imperial shouldn't really matter. You could also use your own favourite cupcake recipes, then decorate.
