Baking

The endlessly imaginative duo who turned cup caking 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 jewellery 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 sweeties from the corner shop and cake mix and some supermarket icing. So what is new, Cupcake? It features: 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 creatures and the cutest pets ever; more irresistible party centrepieces to celebrate hobbies, from golf to knitting; and, more spectacular occasion cupcakes: Valentine's, Easter, Halloween 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!
