Review: Shopping lists and weblinks
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is an ideas book.  It does have recipes, techniques and yummy pictures.  It also has about 3 million links to a website where you can order the pre-made fillings, flavorings, mixes, and gadgets mentioned in the recipes.  If you don't want to order 2 pounds of lemon filling from the website, you will have to figure it out on your own.  You might try a box of pudding or look up a recipe for lemon curd on pinterest.  For the recipe purists among us, myself included, we prefer to order the 2 pound bag, wait for it to come, and then use a fraction of it in the recipe.  The rest we can eat with a spoon after the cupcakes are finished.  For late night cupcake munchies, you need a different cupcake book, but I warn you now, they will not taste near as yummy as these.  The waiting for lemon pudding makes it taste so much better then lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, water, cornstarch and yellow coloring tossed in a pan, cooked until thickened, cooled and used in place of the stuff you order.
