There’s no better authority on delectable desserts than
Martha Stewart. She and her ingenious team of editors have
consistently created the most delicious recipes, and their
dedication to simple instructions, how-to photographs, and
beautiful styling is unparalleled. And there’s no more
in-demand dessert right now than cupcakes.
Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes features 175 ideas and includes
recipes for the cakes, frostings, and fillings, along with a
trove of suggestions for tastefully decorating and
embellishing them. From classics such as devil’s food
cupcakes to sweet surprises like peanut butter and jelly
cupcakes, and from elegant delicacies like tiny
cherry-almond tea cakes to festive showstoppers topped with
piped buttercream blossoms or candy clowns, each cupcake is
accompanied by a gorgeous color photograph. They will
inspire home bakers of all skill levels, who will find a
cupcake for every occasion—birthdays, holidays, and special
days such as weddings and showers—as well as for everyday fun.
Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes also includes templates and clip
art for decorative flourishes, an equipment glossary, and
step-by-step instructions for basic and advanced decorating
techniques, plus ideas for presenting and packaging the
cupcakes in Martha’s trademark style.
