For months, every time I have wandered down the magazine aisle of the supermarket I have been tempted by the Australian Women's Weekly's Easy Cupcakes By Colour cookbook. Many a time have I leafed through this book without buying. That is, until today.
I couldn't hold off any longer. Spring is just around the corner and with it comes the desire to bake pretty, spring-like cupcakes. Lacking inspiration of my own, I knew this cookbook would provide ideas. And it does, in abundance.
Easy Cupcakes By Colour is divided into five chapters based on colour: pink, white, yellow, blue and green, and chocolate. There are over 100 pages of scrumptious pictures of cupcakes and descriptions of how to decorate them. Pictures of the various decorations, along with cake and frosting recipes, are at the back of the book. Included are dairy and gluten-free cupcake recipes for those with restricted diets.
Mind you, I have had very little opportunity to look at the book since I arrived home as the kids keep disappearing with it. I can see that cupcakes are going to feature heavily in next week's menu.
Let the baking begin!

It is so funny to see you talk of spring as we are getting ready to slip into fall :0)
The cupcakes on the cover look scrumptious! I don't blame you for wanting to bake! Can't wait to see pics.

Oh, I love those WW cookbooks!
My favourite one is the Kids Birthday Cake Cookbook. My son wants the Dragon Cake for his 5th birthday! (His name is Dragon, yes really!)
Now I'm looking forward to the beautiful cupcake photos I just know you're going to post! :-)
