I buy A LOT of baking, specialty cooking and crafting books. I write a baking, crafting and party blog, so I tend to think I know it all, ha, but still love to buy the books. Anyway, I was so blown away by the amount of detail in this book and the sheer volume of ideas. The recipes are fantastic, but this book is also such a good baking, crafting and party resource - for beginner crafters and bakers, but also for people who think they know it all...ha, like me.
The party ideas and recipes are styled so well, they are super inspirational without being too fussy. The photography is amazing, and the crafting instructions are clear and precise.
My favorite thing about the book is the page-by-page resource guide found at the end. Every prop, every tool, is catalogued and accounted for. So many books gloss over this, and for people like me, people who know the basics, a lot of time the resources are mostly what I'm interested in.
For beginners there's a great craft tool and baking tool top 10, some basic icing instructions, and a guide on how to find the best ingredients. The book is broken into sections with party ideas, and the party ideas include a recipe, a drink, a craft, and ideas for decorating. My favorite parties are: one inspired by Andy Warhol, SO original, and a Parisian themed one. But there are a lot of good ideas in each party.
I'm just so impressed by the quality of this book. This is the type of detail and instruction for other baking and crafting books to aspire to. The ideas are original and easily adaptable. This project was obviously done without cutting any corners, and I really respect that.
** I would like to add I have tried 4 of the cupcake recipes and each of them is INSANELY yummy. The peanut butter buttercream is a sinful experience and I made myself an entire 3-layer-cake covered in it. The end.

I pre-ordered this book because I am a fan of Trophy Cupcakes. Once I got the book, I was impressed with the amount of thought and detail that went into every party from invite to decor to food. Additionally, the photos are gorgeous and very inspirational! Using this book, someone can easily host a 50th Anniversary party one day and a "Hungry Catepillar" fete the next. Trophy Tips and Tricks are included at the beginning, recipes are in the back and pro tips are sprinkled throughout. The first recipe I tried was the S'mores Cupcake. Out of laziness, I opted to make the vanilla buttercream instead of the recommended meringue and the result tasted just like the frosting that Trophy puts on their cupcakes. A definite delight!
