Since 1921, the Betty Crocker name has symbolized the General Mills continuing tradition of service to consumers. Although Betty was never a real person, her name and identity have become synonymous with helpfulness, trustworthiness and quality.

Betty Crocker has survived the decades by providing consumers with food information and food products that are contemporary without being faddish. The first hardcover cookbook, Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook was published in 1950 and quickly became a national best seller. Since then, more than 250 Betty Crocker cookbooks have been published.

Great cupcake cookbook to have
This is a fantastic book of you like to really put some effort into cupcakes periodically. I’ve made several recipes from it and all have been delicious. The Margarita cupcakes are perhaps the most crowd pleasing ones I’ve ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of different recipes and decorating tips
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2011

So happy with this cookbook. The first chapter has basic cupcake and frosting recipes with no frills. The following chapters are chock full with interesting recipes and decorating ideas. The flavors are exciting and fun and I can't wait to make more cupcakes more often.

The decorating ideas are fun and not so complicated that I won't be able to achieve a reasonable likeness to the pictures.

The recipes give extra tips and tell you how you can use a box of cake mix if you don't want to make them from scratch. The one recipe I've tried so far (candy bar cupcakes) was extremely easy. The most complicated things I had to do was separate eggs and test for doneness with a toothpick.

Some of the recipes use the basic cupcake / frosting recipe and then add other ingredients to make them different & original.

I would definitely recommend this cookbook for anyone who likes to bake but is tired of the same old boring recipes.

*******Update 11.01.11 - I've been making cupcakes about twice a month now since I've purchased this book and get rave reviews for each new recipe. The added ingredients definitely change the flavors and the decorating (so far) is a snap.

I would recommend if you're going to start making cupcakes more often that you buy a few accessories to make putting the batter into the pan and frosting easier. I've purchased a simple decorating bag with two different large tips - with this I can frost 24 cupcakes in minutes and they look professional. I also love the 'batter scoops' I've purchased. It helps ensure that my cupcakes are of a consistent size - which again makes them look prettier in the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting but still a good cookbook
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2012

This cookbook was not quite what I was expecting. The description says that both recipes and decorating ideas are included but I guess I was expecting a ton of recipes and then a coordinating fun way to decorate each one. Instead half of the book is dedicated to interesting recipes and the other half is decorating ideas on how to turn a standard chocolate or vanilla flavored cupcake into a bug or flower etc. I'm more into spending time on the flavor than on the decoration but my cupcakes are also generally not ones for special occasions or kids and I whip them up on a weeknight so I'm not going to spend 10 minutes decorating each cupcake.

However, that being said, the decorating ideas are cute, wide ranging, detailed, have lots of pictures and they may come in handy to me in the future. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet so I can't comment on if they're tasty or not but they look to be laid out well with simple to follow instructions. I'm not a fan of using boxed cake mix in my cupcakes but it's a nice addition to have that option included if you're not the type to go from scratch. Overall, I'm still happy with this cookbook and look forward to trying out the recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great simple book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

I've made two of the recipes from this book so far, and I'm happy to say that I won't be shelving this book anytime soon!

I love to bake, but do it more for therapeutic purposes (five boys and three dogs!) than anything else. The boys are always eager taste testers as well.

This book IS published by Betty Crocker so of course it would make sense that they suggest using their mixes if you don't want to make the batter from scratch, but I see no reason why a Pillsbury or Duncan Hines (or any brand really) mix wouldn't work just fine. That being said, they are plenty of recipes in here to inspire the home baker-that's what I call myself.

I made the Chocolate Whoopie Pie cakes using Devil's food cake and a marshmellow creme and frosting mix and it was a huge hit! Simple, but yummy and that's all I ask for!

I also made the REd Velvet cupcakes for my son's 18th birthday, and I was so happy with the result! A big thing, obviously, with red velvet is the color of the cake, and this one turned out perfectly!

Up next-the Lemon Creme Cupcake.

This book is well worth the money if you enjoy baking for fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Delicious Cupcakes
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2013

Some of these cupcakes are more involved than others to make. Each recipe includes instructions for the "bake from scratch" method (which is what I always use due to needing to avoid a lot of the additives in cake mixes) and instructions for what cake mix would work if you wanted to use one, along with any tweaks needed to make it work.

The Snickerdoodle cupcakes taste just like snickerdoodle cookies, and have been a huge hit the couple places I've taken them. The Root Beer Float cupcakes, which are baked in ice cream cones instead of papers, were a huge hit with my son's middle school book club. You know when the teacher and kids are arguing over who gets to take the last one that they have to be good! :)

I can see several more recipes that I'd love to try when I have a bit more time (such as the "sliders" that look like mini sliders, but are actually made from mini cupcakes, with brownies as the meat and other stuff for lettuce, cheese, etc.). They definitely look more time consuming, though not necessarily difficult.

I would recommend this for anyone who loves to bake cupcakes and wants ideas and flavors that people will actually eat (though there are some more esoteric, not necessarily kid friendly ones too). With the option to make them "real" for those of us who enjoy "scratch" baking and "boxed" for those who don't, it has something for everyone.
