I haven't had a chance to make any of the recipes from this book yet, but two of my friends and I sat one night and looked this book over page by page and I think there was only one recipe that in the whole cookbook that didn't appeal to us. Every single cupcake recipe, along with the pictures are irresistibly tasty! What a great compilation Martha and her contributors put together. I have quite a few of Martha Stewart's cookbooks and she never disappoints!

The recipes in this book appeal to all palates and ages. An avid baker I was a bit apprehensive to "make cupcakes" but have been pleasantly surprised by the range of both simplicity and complexity of tastes the recipes offer. The directions are easy to follow and the photographs a pleasure to look at.
Reviewer: Michele P
easy to follow directions and my grandsons have a great time wanting to make all the cupcakes in the book.

I'm a pie baker; I haven't ever made a cupcake or a cake other than out of a box. I was a little worried that is would be difficult or the cupcakes wouldn't come out. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The cupcakes I've made have been simple and delicious. Each recipe better than the last. I'm completely hooked. Thank you Martha for making this so easy and very, very flavorful! I continue to look forward to the next batch that I make. The only drawback is that I can't eat just one!
