The Big Book of Babycakes- Cupcake Maker Recipes

book cover

The Big Book of Babycakes Cupcake Maker Recipes: Homemade Bite-Sized Fun! by Kathy Moore & Roxanne Wyss is a book any inspiring chef or cupcake lover should check out.

Within the covers of the book are the following

  1. How to use the Babycakes Cupcake Maker
  2. Sweet Treats which you can bake like cupcakes, brownies, cheesecakes pies and tarts
  3. Mealtime Favourites like Muffins, Breads and Pies
  4. Babycakes for Everyone- Gluten Free and Vegan Treats, for Tots and small servings
  5. Entertaining Made Easy with Appetizers and Finger Foods.

The book not only gives you the recipes for making tasty cupcakes but also teaches you how to make various different frostings and glazes to jazz up your creations. I found the section on Frosting and Glazes particular captivating as I had always wanted to learn how to make different types of frosting to go along with my cupcakes to make them more delectable.

Another section which caught my attention was the section on Lunch and Dinner Pies. I have always love eating pies and now I’ll be able to make my own Beef Pie Bites and Country Ham and Egg Hand Pies.

I didn’t know that there is so many other things which you can do with a babycake maker besides making cupcakes.

Do check out the book if you are interested in learning how to fully utilize your babycake maker.

You can purchase the book online from Amazon.

Are you into soups? Do your kids love drinking soup too? This is certainly the book for you!!

 300 Sensational Soups by Carla Snyder & Meredith Deeds has a whole list of soups which you can try out.

You can choose from a selection of  the following types of soups

  • Chilled soups
  • Fresh from the Gardens
  • Bean soups
  • Cheesy soups
  • Hearty Meaty Soups
  • Chicken & Tuurkey Soups

I love the selection of international soups and some of my favourite chowders which I have been yearning to make at home for the kids. Each recipe also includes tips and techniques along with garnishing ideas. As well, there are many creative variations and serving suggestions.  There are also really eye catching and mouthwatering pictures of the different soups in between the pages which really wheat my appetite.

Brocolli Soup

The kids loved eating Broccoli and I was thrilled to find a Broccoli, Bacon and Cheddar Chowder recipe within the book.  It wasn’t too difficult to make and we had the soup for dinner.

I will be trying the different soups in the book in time to come and certainly recommend this book to a Soup lover.
With 300 recipes to choose from, ranging from everyday fare to elegant dishes for entertaining, 300 Sensational Soups offers home chefs a perfect bowl of soup every time.
