Brand new large softcover book, 240 pages, lots of gorgeous, mouthwatering colour photos and step-by-step instructions.

Decorating these cupcakes is as much fun as eating them.

The endlessly imaginative duo who turned cupcaking into a national pastime is back, with utterly new, eye-popping creations anyone can make. Create a racecar cupcake, a robot cupcake, or ravishing jewelry cupcakes for a birthday party. Surprise the family with Chinese takeaway dinner cupcakes on April Fool’s, or serve up a goofy chocolate moose. Captivate mum with a bouquet of  long-stemmed-rose cupcakes, and build sand castle cupcakes with the kids. All you need are lollies from the supermarket or corner store and cake mix and canned frosting.

 So what is new ... Cupcake?

• Dozens of easy 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 Day, 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!

No baking skills or fancy pastry equipment is required. Spotting the familiar items in the hundreds of brilliant photos is at least half the fun.

What's New, Cupcake? is a US publication and measurements are in imperial - pounds, ounces, inches, cups and spoons. As most 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.
