I will confess. I am one of those people who constantly goes through cookbooks and has good intentions of making some of the recipes. What I am looking for is something unusual that I feel I could do for my family. This book hits the mark. Elise Strachan is the host of Cupcake Addiction. Each chapter in this book includes cute recipes but also the decorating elements to finish any theme. For her spring fling, I loved her "Naked" Flower cake where the sides are not frosted and the top is decorated with real flowers. Her garden pot cupcakes remind me of a recipe I saw years ago that I always thought was so adorable. She uses Starburst candies to "make vegetables." Check out her garden teacup cakes on page 93. My family would probably love the Giant Peanut Butter Cup and the Smores hot chocolate. I also love her Hidden Ornament cupcakes where she used the mini reeses peanut butter cups as the socket for light bulbs. Gumballs are the "light bulbs."
