    Very fun book!

    I used this book and made the circus cake. They were easy to make but very time consuming. They looked just like the book though and were a huge hit! I will definitely use this book again at the next birthday party!

    Some of the designs will be challenging for someone like me, but I will sure have fun practicing! My son LOVED the horsey cupcakes I made for his birthday.

    Irresistable

    This "instruction" manual on how to build amazing cupcakes is truly unique and definitely worth while if you want to try something different. Perhaps a little more difficult than the authors let on, it still provides basic instructions and helpful hints that can probably be perfected with some practice. I was disappointed that it lacked actual recipes for cupcakes and only instructs on the decorating part but regardless, the pictures alone inspire you to want to create something!
