This is a great book with lots of cute and fun ideas. Most of the cupcakes can be made with very little or no cake decorating experience. I am making the "spaghetti" for a cake walk and am sure it will be a great hit!
Most of the candy used is easy to come by and you can use cake mixes and canned frosting so you don't even have to be a good baker! If you have kids this would give you some fun projects to work on together.

One of the most creative books I've seen in a long time. I enjoy just looking at it. My kids are grown and I may not make any of these treats for some time, but the ideas alone are worth the price of the book. I highly recommend it to mom's of young kids who have to do those classroom parties or birthdays. It's amazing!!!!

I have NO cake decorating skills whatsoever and I have made 2 of the cupcake designs from this book: the pumpkins and the billard balls. Though they weren't as professional looking as the ones in the photos, they were still very cute. Everyone who saw them raved over them. My family has already bought their own copies of this book after seeing the results. I highly recommend it.
