Yes, this is the second cupcake book I've read lately. I LIKE cupcakes.
The other one I read was way over my head. [b:Dare to Bake!: Cupcake Recipes to Awaken Your Sweet Tooth|22333799|Dare to Bake! Cupcake Recipes to Awaken Your Sweet Tooth|Ady Abreu|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1407106976s/22333799.jpg|41732114]. The author of this book was also on Cupcake Wars, but unlike the Dare to Bake author he didn't win. They sent him home not because his cupcakes were nasty, but because he forgot the pumpkin in his Pumpkin Cardamom cupcakes.
His book is the better of the two though.
He owns the business "Small Cakes" and get a gander at these bad boys.
Plus, his recipes are easy to follow and don't require you having to google ingredients to figure out what they are. The man has a Peanut Butter Pretzel cupcake. I'm dying.
The only thing I didn't like about this book is that there isn't enough cupcake recipes. There is a small section at the front of the book for them and then the second part is ice cream recipes followed by cookie type one. I WANT damn cupcakes.

**I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.** then because I loved it so much went out and bought a hard copy for myself.
I love this book! It is full of amazing recipes with delectable pictures. I love the back story of the bakery, can't wait to work my way through every single treat, and have already decided to give this away as gifts for our Christmas party. It is small and compact yet full to bursting of ways to bring yummy sugary smiles to you family and friends.
