I’m super excited to bring you the first of three cookbook reviews this week! Each day, you’ll have a chance to enter to WIN all three books so make sure to come back tomorrow and Friday too!
Today’s book is a cakelette decorating book, Cupcake Envy, by the talented Amy Eilert. Amy Eilert founded her online shop Cupcake Envy in 2006. Her cakelets have been featured in local and national media outlets such as DailyCandy.com, Skirt Magazine, Brides Magazine and the Ugly Betty show. She travels throughout the U.S. and Canada teaching classes and judging national cake competitions including That Takes The Cake Sugar Art and Cake Competition and Cakelove 2011 and is also a certified instructor at CakeCentral.com.
Earlier this year, Amy released a new book, Cupcake Envy! Cupcake Envy walks readers and aspiring dessert chefs through techniques and preparations to bake exquisite treats that resemble amazing objects such as stylish party dress, a wicked voodoo doll, an adorable baby bottle and more than two dozen other amazing likenesses that people will buzz about!
These clever single-serving cakelets assume beloved forms that will appeal to all the special people in your life. Amy’s instructions are easy to follow, and readers will easily be able to customize their own creativity to each of the designs.
Even those who don’t have an aptitude for baking, will enjoy decorating these mini cakes. Every cake can be made with a simple box of cake mix and store-bought toppings, giving more time to devote to the fun and creative parts of the process—shaping and decorating the cakes.
Find more about Amy and Cupcake Envy on the web or Facebook! Cupcake Envy is availble in most major bookstores and online at Amazon!

I love my Betty Crocker Cookbook!
Right now I really like my Miss Kay cookbook and David Venable’s cookbook. I can’t say that I have one that I love the most. If I had to pick a favorite it would be having the IPad in the kitchen and Google. lol That’s usually how I look up most recipe ideas. ;)
