Review: Advertisements Wrapped around Recipes
Rating: 3 out of 5

There are several inventive or unusual recipes in this book, but many of the recipes are simply built around using a purchased cake mix.The recipes are well presented and well formatted, although a few are inconsistent in how they reference an ingredient or in the measurement of an ingredient. For example, in one recipe you're instructed to use butter by ounces (weight) and in others by cup (volume) rather than using consistent measurement styles throughout the book. These issues are minor.The big turn off in this book are the in-your-face advertisements and links for a weight loss website mixed in between the recipes throughout the book.If someone buys a cupcake cookbook, it isn't because they were thinking about weight loss. These types of ads and links are inappropriate in this type of book.Not recommended.
