Product Description
Cupcakes have always been crowd-pleasers at school birthday parties and neighborhood bake sales. But today they are also among the hottest culinary trends for sophisticated adults. Cupcakes Year-Round offers a platter full of delicious, grown-up recipes-Black Forest Cherry Cupcakes, Hot Buttered Rum Cakes, Carrot and Zucchini Cakes, and many more-along with kid-friendly PB & J's, Snowballs, and Spelling Bee Alphabet Cakes.
In addition to 50 tasty recipes, organized by season (Easter Egg Nests for spring, Reindeer Snacks for winter), the book includes helpful information on the basics of making cupcakes, from mixing to icing, as well as instructions for piping techniques and tips on customizing cupcakes with syrups, fillings, and decorations. Mix-and-match batter and icing combinations give the baker more than 100 delectable cupcake options. With its unique easel format and retro design, this book proves that cupcakes are just as much fun to make as they are to eat. AUTHOR BIO: Sara Neumeier, a former food editor at Martha Stewart Living, is a recipe developer, food stylist, and writer whose work has appeared in Gourmet, Food & Wine, and Real Simple, along with Martha Stewart Living. This is her first book. Jonelle Weaver is a professional photographer whose work has appeared in such publications as Food & Wine, Condé Nast Traveler, and Gourmet.

 How sweet it is! June 23, 2005

I love the gingham on the cover and the sturdy easel, which is why I bought it in the first place, but what you need to know is that the vanilla cupcakes in here are THE BEST EVER (completely trump New York's Magnolia Bakery)! That recipe alone is worth buying the book for. I've only made two of the icings so far (chocolate and vanilla buttercreams), but I can't wait to combine some of the many different flavors and try some of the decorating ideas.

"Cupcakes Year-Round" was a gift to myself, as I love sweets! Who doesn't like cupcakes?!
Sara Neumeier is a food writer, food stylist and recipe developer. She works with the Martha Stewart kingdom, and it is evident when you see the gorgeous color photographs of her food styling.
The recipes are easy-to-follow. There are cupcake recipe and decorating ideas for each season. Plus, Neumeier helps explains the reason behind baking techniques, such as sifting flour. I feel these tips are magnificent at helping educate the new baker to understand what is going on in the kitchen! Also, the book can be set up as an easel for easier use while cooking! That was a cute idea.
I, recently, made her Easter cupcakes for my son and his friends. They loved them.
This cookbook is fun, easy and tasty. Her recipes are great for adults and children.

This book caught my eye and that of my daughter who loves to bake. When we found out that the book becomes a self-standing cookbook, all the better! There is so much imagination that goes into the decorating of these cupcakes! Who knew that a single cupcake could be a spider, an ice cream cone, or a sand castle? The photography is simple, crisp and inviting. I recommend this cupcake book for children and adults of all ages.

I bought a few cupcake books when I got my new Kitchenaid mixer. I've definitely tested out numerous recipes from each, and BY FAR this book has the best recipes. They always come out delicious. My favorite so far, is the red velvet recipe--the best red velvet I've ever had!
I highly recommend this book.
Great recipes and pictures! January 20, 2007

This is my favorite cupcake book ever. The recipes are great. Each one has a color picture. I'm not sure what buyer "whoru" is talking about by saying no pictures. The flip design is a LITTLE difficult sometimes but its nothing that would make me regret getting this book. I would recommend this book to anyone likes cupcakes.
