Combining a no-nonsense approach to cooking and an insatiable appetite for cake, here is a collection of delicious new recipes and fun designs for cupcakes. A lively, colourful book packed with baking tips, captivating new cake designs, modern photography and delightful illustrations, it is split into low-faff, middling-faff and high-faff recipes, with ideas for both sweet and savoury, children's and adult's, seasonal and special occasion designs.

Importantly, there is also a section devoted to ingredients and equipment and not to forget the author's hens and the significance of using free-range eggs.

The author writes in such an informal style, and with such enthusiasm and humour, that the reader is borne along on her passion for cupcakes!
