  The recipes in this book are very easy to bake, yet really delicious. I definetely recommend to buy it if you like to vary every now and then the little treats for the familly and friends.
  Although I must give the readers a hint. I tried the "Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes" and let's get real, the recipe is NOT FOR CUPCAKES. I swear no cupcakes will come out of it. They totally stuck to the paper liners, never rose, actually they sunk and left a hole in the middle, and looked like the result of an oven catastrophe. But don't get me wrong, it was still delicious. After that, I've used the recipe as what it actually is: a brownie recipe, a very good brownie recipe. So, I've made brownies quite a few times now, in a regular 9X13" cake pan, and cut them into squares, and I'm happy to have a good unexpected brownie recipe at hand.
  Most of the other recipes I've tried are indeed very tasty, specially the "Best Chocolate Cupcakes" recipe, which is absolutely excellent. Bake these cupcakes and the compliments won't stop coming your way.
  Don't expect a lot of pictures of beatifully decorated cupcake pictures, since this is a RECIPE book. Just do what I do, bake this delicious recipes and decorate them using your own creativity and/or get ideas from other books.
  A definete must-have in any kitchen, whether you're an occassional baker or almost a pro-baker.
  
  

• Just the Right Amount

  This is a wonderful book for when you want to make just a pan of cupcakes. Although, I must say I usually make 48 mini cakes and bake them for 10-14 minutes. My favorite by far is the White Chocolate Chip with the Coffee Buttercream frosting. The recipes have simple ingredients. The print is easy to read. The frosting suggestions are helpful, as are other tips and comments, printed on each recipe. I did add 1-2 tablespoons meringue powder to the buttercream frosting just to help it hold up better

  there are a lot of original and wonderful flavor ideas. many of the recipies are quite pricey to make due to the liberal use of dutch cocao powder. the basic cake recipie on which most of the cupcakes are based makes a rather dry cake that has a rough texture. the basic frosting recipie is too dense. i like the flavors but not the recipies. i have adapted the basic cake and frosting recipie making the end products much lighter and airier, with good results.
  
  

• This was a great book!

  This is my third cook book from J.Hasson and I love them. They are easy to read, very personable, and the idea's are great. The recipes are simple to prepare. Our favorite so far is the Orange Chocolate Cupcakes, followed by the Candy Bar Cupcakes. The Halloween leftover idea is perfect!

  Wow, I have enjoyed both reading this cookbook and testing the recipes...which, by the way, have been great successes. This one is a keeper!

  I love to cook and tried several receipts in Julie Hasson's book.
  I found the directions very easy to follow and the receipts turned out yummy. I especially liked the Chocolate Expresso Cake. I made it for my girlfriends birthday and it was a big hit. My daughter had some friends over for a slumber party and I made the Vancouver Bars. I think they were gone before I left the room.
  I would recommend this book for everyones collection.
  
  
• Delicious temptation
  By AJM1TAGHBHWX7 on 2006-07-10
  So I've already tried about a dozen of these recipes - the chocolate fudge frosting is incredible - and the "best chocolate cupcake" recipe. Also love the lemon buttermilk and the toffee AND the french toast. Delish!
  
  
• Fun Cupcake Book!
  By A3MGB240GGFCD2 on 2006-08-26
  I have been having a good time trying the different recipes in the book. Everything is from scratch, but the recipes are practical and once you have the basic ingredients there are many different recipes that you will be able to try without a trip to the market. This would be a nice book for someone teaching a young person how to cook!
  
  
• A great addition to your cookbook collection
  By A3SPSNZRINPPCY on 2007-10-26
  If only for the inspiration, this book is a winner. The recipes are simple, clearly written, and look amazing. For the most part the ingredients are things I usually have in the cupboard, so delicious "scrath" cupcakes are now always less than an hour away. I will never use a mix again. There's no excuse to when these recipes are so easy.
  
  Last night I had to make cupcakes for a bake sale but had been unhappy with the frosting I'd previously used for that particular recipe. So I pulled out this book with it's variety if icings, and voila! the perfect match to raspberry cupcakes: vanilla cream frosting. It's like a normal buttercream, but the addition of whipping cream instead of milk makes it light, smooth and melt in your mouth buttery delicious!
  
  My cookbook standard is if I can get at least one recipe I'll use over and over, it's worth whatever I paid for the book. As someone who loves to bake, I get the feeling I'll more than get my money's worth!
  
  
• Consistently marvelous results
  By A1DBOSQ7SOUS36 on 2007-07-09
  Our whole family loves cupcakes, and the results with recipes from this book have been consistently delicious, both for me and friends who have borrowed the book. The flavors are natural and clear. We have tried everything from coconut to raspberry vanilla (the lemon cream frosting is killer on these) to mocha and chocolate. The only change I make is to substitute melted butter for oil in the recipes because we prefer the butter flavor. To those who say that the cupcakes are too dense: I think you have become too used to the texture of boxed cake mix or commercial bakery products. These are from scratch, homemade cupcakes without a doubt and I love the texture.
  
  
• Brand New Baker Loves this Book
  By A111XGG2SSI85E on 2007-06-07
  I had never baked in my life prior to 125 Best Cupcake Recipes! I have made Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cupcakes, Mini Cheesecakes, and Chocolate Chip Coookie Cupcakes, too. I made them all just by following the easy instructions. Nothing was too difficult, even though it was from scratch!

• Grab this one up
  By A2PJ9AMUAH5DGA on 2007-10-30
  I have had nothing but good results from the recipes I've tried so far out of this book. The apple cupcakes with caramel glaze are especially excellent, by the way. The edition I received from Amazon does list the amount each recipe yields, as well. I attempted to purchase this from a local super-duper big bookstore, but after looking it up, the clerk informed me that it may no longer be stocked, that it was uncertain whether there would be additional printings. I ordered it from Amazon immediately, and am glad that I did.
  
  
• dry cupcakes
  By A13MBP1GTL6C4G on 2006-08-11
  I have only had a chance to try one recipe so far so I am not certain that my experience applies to all the recipes but I agree with the other reviewer who said that the results are tasty but dry and dense. I would return the book but I already have frosting on it.
  
  
• Yummy!
  By A1FXUVLB6YH7W9 on 2007-10-10
  This is a beautiful book. Easy to read and easy to follow directions. Lots of recipes that can be mixed and matched to create well over 125 combinations. Excellent. Great, original flavor combinations with beautiful photographs. I highly reccommend it. I can't wait for her pie book to hit the market!

• Quick and easy
  By A3VQMH1IHRR7JV on 2008-03-27
  I love this book, each recipe has frosting suggestions underneath & a sidebar that contains tips and variations. I've baked over half the recipes in the book, whether it's pumpkin, banana, very vanilla chocolate chip, mango coconut, pineapple or chocolate all the cupcakes are quick, easy and delicious.
  
  
• Excelent and super easy to follow
  By A2LVTCWUNORMTQ on 2008-03-29
  I got this book a week ago and have already made 4 recipes. The first one was the banana cupcakes, which were deliciously moist and the texture of the cupcakes just made them melt in my mouth. I also tried the Kahlua cupcakes and shared with a friend who now wants me to make them everyweek. Again the result was very moist and melt in your mouth cupcakes. The other two were kids cupcakes, and of course my daughter and her friends gave them an A+. I recommend this book, the instructions are easy to follow as 1,2,3 and the results are great.
  
  
• Cupcake heaven
  By A3OP8E1F2N7V4R on 2008-08-03
  My first cupcake recipe book and I LOVE it. The recipes are easy to follow and my chocolate cupcakes turned out to be exceedingly delicious.
  The only thing missing for me personally are pictures. I love to see a picture of EACH cupcake described in the book - I think here are only 10 in total.
  Still - a MUST have for any cupcake addict
  
  
• Excellent Recipes
  By A3EBJ2MTYMYPPL on 2008-09-18
  This is a well organized book that focuses on quality recipes and not on decorating. I made the Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes with Chocolate Fudge Frosting. The recipe was a bit unusual, no eggs and 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar. It was also very easy to make, no mixer required, just a whisk. I took them to a party and they were a hit. The cupcakes were very moist and the frosting was thick and not too sweet. The author added a note that these are best eaten the same day, but I keep one in the refrigerator and ate it the next day and I think it was actually better. I'm looking forward to making more cupcakes from this book.
