Cupcake fans rejoice. On the 17th July 2014 Luisa Zissman’s Wicked Cupcakes! book is released. Thankfully we got an advance copy and have reviewed it for you. Read on.
There are tons of amazing cupcake recipes in Wicked Cupcakes!
A few of my favourite recipes are the indulgent chocolate, apple crumble, cookie and cream, pink champagne, jelly shot, pina colada, Pimm’s Layer cake, ice cream cupcakes…actually I need to stop now. The list will get too long. If you love cupcakes, buy the book. It is full of brilliant ideas and great tips. Highly recommended.
Luisa Zissman shot to fame when she became the runner-up in the 2013 series of the BBC’s The Apprentice. A baker by trade, Luisa has been running her hugely successful St Albans cake shop, Dixie’s Cupcakery, since 2011. It is her mission to show the world that you don’t need a lot of time or complicated ingredients to create show-stopping cupcakes like hers.
In true Luisa style, her cupcakes are bold and brassy – a treat for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Whatever the occasion, she has a cupcake that’s the perfect fit: cocktail cupcakes for a girls’ night in; ooh la la cupcakes for romantic liaisons; Dixie cakes, which are perfect cakes for busy mums to cook with their kids; vintage cakes for a stylish soiree and quirky cupcakes with unusual flavours, such as the genius Love Me Hate Me Marmite and Chocolate cupcake.
Packed with helpful advice on how to make and decorate your cakes, Luisa’s book will put the fun and sparkle back into your kitchen!
