Cupcakes from the Cake Mix Doctor

Author: Anne Byrn

Cupcake magic...Cupcakes are celebratory, cupcakes are comforting, cupcakes are peel-back-the-paper and tickle-your-inner-child treats that elicit smiles wherever they appear.

But leave it to bestselling cookbook author Anne Byrn to take cupcakes to the next level. Proving that cupcakes can do everything a big cake can do, only better, here are 135 dazzling recipes —and you'll never believe they started with a mix.

Publishers Weekly

From chocolate ganache to toppings with panache, this latest addition to the Cake Mix Doctor canon offers creative ideas and 135 recipes for tiny, delicious cakes. The detailed table of contents and alluring cupcake likenesses in the opening assemblage of photos will have readers salivating. The Cupcakes with Class chapter offers tasty elegance, from Cappuccino Chip to Harvey Wallbanger (which contains vodka and liqueur). Kids' cupcakes range from Cotton Candy to Caterpillar, and priorities delightfully in place, Byrn provides party-planning suggestions for favors and activities that complement the cupcakes. Helpful hints abound via "The Cupcake Doctor Says" tidbits, which appear throughout the book, and mini-essays that ponder questions such as "What's a Muffin? What's a Cupcake?" The Muffins: Breakfast Cupcakes chapter suggests ways to move beyond the classic blueberry (though Byrn offers a new take on that standby, too); Cupcake Cousins and Cupcake Creations will give do-it-yourselfers the confidence to try making fancy desserts in muffin tins. Fans of the regular QVC guest will already know that homemade frostings are a must, "the strand of pearls setting off the classic little black dress." Recipes for creams, glazes, frostings and sauces will help cupcake chefs "experiment and enjoy." (May) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

The Cake Mix Doctor's many fans will be delighted that she has returned to sweet baking (her last book, The Dinner Doctor, just didn't have the same appeal as her other two Cake Mix Doctor titles). Here, Byrn presents 135 recipes for cupcakes for any occasion-from "cupcake cousins," such as Mini Strawberry Trifles baked in a muffin pan, to Breakfast Cupcakes (a.k.a. muffins) to Jelly Doughnut Cupcakes-along with an assortment of toppings, frostings, and glazes. There are imaginative cupcakes just for kids, fancy ones for adults, and elegant creations like a Cupcake Wedding Cake. The opening essay includes 16 full-color photographs.
