Book Review of 500 Cupcakes: The Only Cupcake Compendium You'll Ever Need

500 Cupcakes: The Only Cupcake Compendium You'll Ever Need
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


This book has great pictures, and each recipe has three "alternative recipes." There are a lot of repeats and small changes that get it to the 500 cupcakes number. There are also quite a few muffins in the number.

The book is great for getting a variety of ideas of various combinations. However, the recipes have not been tested, and virtually all the recipes either have incorrect directions or are very very dry. While some may be able to be fixed with knowledge of baking science, for a book that seems to be geared towards starting bakers, it is not that good.
