I love this book because of the many ideas it gives you on how to decorate your cupcake and recommends inexpensive ways to make pipping bags and tools to decorate your cupcakes. For example, they pipe their cupcake batter into cups with a bag. This is a great idea of you don't have an ice-cream scooper to divide the batter (though I prefer this method). They also show you how to make a leaf tip with a bag which is nifty if you are in a pinch. This book is easy to follow and the end of the book also lists their suppliers.
