This book looks amazing. The author gives great detail on how do each step in making beautiful cupcakes.
I can’t wait for this to come out in print. I will definitely be buying this book for my baking shelf.

I like the recipes. It takes you from basic to more elaborate flavours in one book.
What I didn't like is the way the book is set up. It tells you a few base recipes for cupcake batters and different buttercreams which suggests that these are the pages you'll be coming back to for those but somewhere in the middle it starts referencing batters from other recipes. I would've preferred those to be also in the beginning.
The short recipes in the back I'm torn about. Some could have been incorporated into the corresponding recipes but mainly the formatting throws me off a bit, since it's so different from the rest of the book. I think it would have been more coherrent if there where a few pictures.
What really irks me is that the ingredients aren't listed if the recipe is found somewhere else in the book. I like to see my ingredients on one page and then I can go look at the recipe on another page but flipping through the whole book just to get my ingredients from three different pages actually makes me think if I really want to bake that.

Thank you, Netgalley and Cidet Mill Press for gifting me an arc of this cookbook. My review is entirely voluntary.
This was a fun cookbook with lots of interesting recipes. I liked the different kinds of icings and the themed cupcakes. All of the recipes were really easy to follow. I feel like beginning bakers would have an easy time with these cupcakes. I am very much looking forward to trying more of the recipes.

Unfortunately can’t leave a review as can’t view the files, but will definitely be buying this as an avid baker

As someone who makes cupcakes only for loved ones; generally children, and some guests, and not for myself or my partner, I appreciated the wide range of flavours, types and designs for the recipes in this book.
The design of the book with the page layouts, photos and fonts are lovely too.

This cookbook is filled with lots of yummy recipes. Clear and easy to follow instructions. Some handy tips at the beginning of the book. Would be nice to have photos of each recipe.

I was hooked from the title and the catchiness of the description, however, a lot of the recipes are just mixing and matching cake and frosting recipes. I do appreciate the numerous amounts of fillings and toppings recipes.
