Fantastic Filled Cupcakes: Kick Your Baking Up a Notch with Incredible Flavor Combinations

I really love this book. It takes the basic cupcake and elevates it into something that is really special. I don't like fancy desserts, and everyone loves cupcakes. This holiday season, I made truly giftable cupcakes, that I was proud to give. These cupcakes are a little more work because rather than just the cake and the frosting you need to make a filling and sometimes a garnish. I made 3 recipes (forgot to take pictures of 1 of them) Caramel Corn cupcakes are Vanilla Cupcakes with Salted Caramel filling, Caramel Buttercream, and delicious Caramel Popcorn on top. The other photo is Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes which are Vanilla cupcakes filled with Edible Cookie Dough, Brown Sugar Frosting, and Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies. So....yeah. I broke the baking up into 2 sessions. I made the cupcakes and the garnishes at night and then did the frosting, filling, and assembling the next morning. Let me just tell you the chapter headings and you will know if you need to have this book or not: Chocolate Lovers Cookie Monster Fudge It Up! Caramel Lovers Tea Time Fall Vibes Fruity Summer Treats See what I mean? With whole chapters dedicated to Chocolate cupcakes, Caramel cupcakes, and cupcakes based on cookie flavors, I would not hesitate for a moment to add this gem to my already large cookbook collection.

UPDATE: 4/3 I baked the honey lemon rosemary and noticed it was a lot of liquid to the flour ratio, I baked following instructions to the T it didn't bake right it was too wet, flavor is good, went through all the recipes and the ratios may be off, needs some revision, I'll be adding more flour and removing some of the liquid in certain recipes. Bake with caution! Good for flavor inspiration. I just received it today 3/29 and i baked right away the semolina orange BUT made it into a bundt, i made REVISIONS it baked perfectly it raises flat, I made changes to it instead of oil used butter and instead of buttermilk used yogurt and didn't add the orange juice, it is perfect I'll bake a second batch using the exact recipe as directed in the book, im excited to continue baking the recipes do look good and various flavors. I kept on debating on buying it since it only had 85 reviews felt like it wasn't worth it im looking to improve techniques and felt like a self taught baker may not had what I was looking for, given that im also self taught and looking for more technical info. But this book delivers Very nice ideas, I'll post an update as I bake more.

I pre-ordered the book as soon as it was announced and could not wait to get it in the mail! I went out and bought ingredients immediately after to get started on the recipes. So many amazing options and delicious flavors. I would definitely recommend purchasing this book if you’re looking for amazing flavor profiles and a way to impress your friends with your awesome decadent baking skills (I don’t even come close to Camila, but it’s fun trying!).

Wow! Words cannot describe the creativity and quality behind the goodies in this book. Every single recipe has so much creativity and the flavor combinations are so unique! I first discovered Camilla’s work on Instagram (if you are not already following her, on “piesandtacos”, you should!) and have been admiring her beautiful baked goods, macarons, and occasion baking sessions with her little son since! She is a gem and this book would be a great upgrade to your kitchen or for a friend who has an appreciation for delicious, unique, and fun cupcake ideas! Plus, it’s just fun to have to look at the gorgeous cupcake photos in the book on its own!!

i was so excited to receive my book in excellent condition!!! will be buying again!! highly recommend linda b

This cookbook practically had me drooling with each turn of the page. This is one of those books where I want to try every recipe and not just a few. My family and friends will want to thank not only Camila Hurst for sharing the recipes but also my husband for being diabetic since I will be sharing lots of them so he can’t sneak and eat them all.

Camila has really outdone herself with the creativity and flavor for each of these cupcakes. This book is phenomenal and a great way to cheer yourself up during a pandemic. The visuals are great, the explanations are very well-detailed, and the presentation is perfect. The cupcakes come out amazing and I can't wait to make more! They were a huge hit in my family

This cookbook oi mouth watering. This will also make a great gift. Im buy two more. One for my 11 year old grandson who loves to bake but also my niece who is his companion in kitchen.

Beautiful pictures of every recipe which I need!!! The recipes are creative and easy to follow. Unique flavor combinations that seem complicated but are actually simple because of the clearly written recipes.

Great book/ recipes and beautiful pictures! I purchased it for my sister and she's so excited for it!
