The opening chapter of Special Cupcakes has a history of cupcakes which includes the TV programme Sex and the City where the two characters of Carrie and Miranda enjoy the fashion of cupcakes and the first mention of

cupcakes in a cookbook. Recipe Book Reviews found the section about the origins of these special single person cakes after the First World War of particular interest. This chapter includes a guide to the equipment needed to bake cupcakes and decorate with icing and a range of toppings. This includes cupcake paper case sizes.

The simple cupcake recipe is included in the basic cupcake recipe section making this an ideal book for the cupcake beginner. This includes how to test if your cupcakes are cooked and then adding simple flavours, toppings and colours to decorate cupcakes. The reader is guided to the next stage of presenting cupcakes in decorative boxes, cellophane bags and ribbons as gifts such as birthday cupcake recipes. Now the fun begins and even the most experienced cupcake baker will learn something new as Wendy Sweetser moves on to the many ways to decorate cupcakes other than a simple vanilla cupcake recipe. This unique feature of Special Cupcakes is that the book thinks of every special occasion and provides cupcakes recipes. So for example for the Halloween cupcake recipes we see a colourful Halloween pumpkin and ginger cupcake with decorative pumpkins, witches hats and spiders as decoration. A charming chick sits atop the Easter cupcake whilst the Christmas cupcake recipes range from toppings of homemade marzipan fruits, snowmen, reindeer, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, presents, stockings, etc. A delightful section describes how to make a cupcake Christmas tree display that can be sat on the Christmas lunch table and eaten after the meal or can form the centrepiece for a Christmas buffet.

Special cupcakes recognise that not everyone can enjoy cupcakes and the healthy cupcake recipes section in this cupcake recipe book has homemade cupcake recipes for those who have to avoid eggs, dairy products, fat or sugar for health or lifestyle reasons.

There is a leaning towards America in Special Cupcakes but this is soon overcome when you learn that frosting is icing and that readers are only limited by their imagination. So whilst the Independence Day cranberry and maple cupcake recipe and baby shower cupcakes looks delicious UK readers could substitute the frost topping with their flag colours and emblem of choice or use the recipes for a Christening buffet. This is the wonderful thing about Special Cupcakes; one best cupcake recipe soon gives ideas for another cupcake recipe. What may start out as an easy chocolate cupcake recipe soon develops into a wonderful edible work of art. Wendy Sweetser helps the reader's imagination by adding handy tips to each of her delicious cupcake recipes. Other cupcake tips include alternative toppings and how to avoid curdling when using alcohol.

Chocolate Cupcakes

Children will love the animal faces toppings such as the elephant cupcake using marzipan or sugarpaste. Some might think that cupcakes are just for girls but boys may love the pig cupcake or the ugly bug recipes.

There is a feel of romance about cupcakes and they do make loving gifts. The romantic section, such as the St Valentines cupcakes recipes section is ideal for those celebrating the 14 February, a wedding anniversary or an engagement. Good cupcake recipes include using the butterfly fairy cake as an almond and white chocolate kiss or icing a love heart and arrow with the couple's initials.

Recipe Book Reviews thoroughly recommend Special Cupcakes above other cupcake recipes books for its wonderful recipes, ease of reading and stunning photos. Special Cupcakes is published by New Holland Publishers, London, 2011.
