Cupcakes
by Martha Stewart

If you are a self-proclaimed cupcake fanatic then you can’t miss this one as it delivers quality and quantity all in one conveniently sized paperback, Martha Stewart style.

Its challenges range from relatively simple to expert but there are dozens of ideas to copy and while some are slightly over-the-top American, most of them are surprisingly achievable and exquisitely beautiful to serve.

You’ll either fall for the pretty lavender-iced brownie cupcakes or go for the Chai Tea, Stout or spiced cupcakes – all of which sidestep the ordinary.

But then there are the piped-buttercream rose cupcakes, the devilish tiramisu cupcakes or salted caramel cupcakes topped with a killer dark chocolate frosting.

Fasten your seat belts…
