"Cupcakes Year-Round" was a gift to myself, as I love sweets! Who doesn't like cupcakes?!
Sara Neumeier is a food writer, food stylist and recipe developer. She works with the Martha Stewart kingdom, and it is evident when you see the gorgeous color photographs of her food styling.
The recipes are easy-to-follow. There are cupcake recipe and decorating ideas for each season. Plus, Neumeier helps explains the reason behind baking techniques, such as sifting flour. I feel these tips are magnificent at helping educate the new baker to understand what is going on in the kitchen! Also, the book can be set up as an easel for easier use while cooking! That was a cute idea.
I, recently, made her Easter cupcakes for my son and his friends. They loved them.
This cookbook is fun, easy and tasty. Her recipes are great for adults and children.
