Have you noticed how couture cupcakes bakeries are popping up all over the place? I guess there is just something irresistable about a miniature cake that can be dressed to the nines and packed with all notions of sugary goodness!
We have a delightful little cupcake shop in our neighborhood and the other day I stopped by to see what all the fuss was about. After shelling out a cool $26, I walked out the door carrying a lovely pink box with exactly six cupcakes inside. They were gorgeous, no doubt, but after my family quickly polished them off, it left me wishing that I could make my own. Of course, such delighful confections take time and skill, but I'd like to give it a try.
There are a host of books with beautiful cupcake designs and detailed instructions for recipes and decoration. The Bake Me I'm Yours cupcake books are a great place to start. They are a series of small books with full cover pictures and step-by-step instructions, though I have to say, they are not easy for a novice baker like myself. Zoe Clark's Bake Me I'm Yours... Cupcake Love is my favorite of the series. Her cupcakes are exquisite and truly a work of art!
