Book Review: The Deliciously Easy Cupcake Cookbook by Jesseca Hallows





The Deliciously Easy Cupcake Cookbook by Jesseca Hallows
Beautiful colors of finished and decorated cupcakes throughout the book.
Dedication page and cool idea how to name the title of the chapters.
Intro talks about the author and what makes her want to experiment and her love of cupcakes.
Parts I like best in this book are when she talks about chemical reactions with the ingredients that make a difference if the cupcake will be a failure or it will be a winner.
So much important information in this section.
Terms and techniques are explained in simple words and I like the section on shortcuts.
Section on decorating and how to choose a frosting.
All around basic the cupcake kitchen will tell you all you will need.
Love shortcut on eggs - such useful information.
Alternate and substitutions chart and it allows you to make the cupcake healthier without even realizing it.
Note on appliances used and about the recipes are included.
Each section of recipes comes with their own index. There are 75 different recipes, something for everyone!
Each recipe includes a title, summary of the cupcakes, prep and total time to make. Servings and any ingredient tips are included.
List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Directions are given and a frosting recipe is also included if you prefer to use that one or another.
Ingredients are listed for that as well.
Not every recipe has a color photo but some do.
There is NO nutritional information.
Like all the other sections for what they will leave you with: imagination and flavor combinations you never would've thought of.
Cooking tips also are included for some recipes.
Looking for a great go too cupcake and this bo
ok has it and so much more. Decorating hacks is included along with  a section: recipes by occasion which recipes are listed for special occasions.
Measurement conversion and index are included at the end of the book.
Acknowledgments and about the author are included at the end.
Recipes by occasion would e a hit on our house. Fun and informative book to keep on your shelf, handy.
I don't often keep cookbooks but this is
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from The Callisto Publisher's Club and this is my honest opinion.
