Cookie A. Baker has very wisely discovered a weak spot in all of our food temptations - cupcakes - and has the good idea of making these delectable little naughties low in calories!  What could be better? The pleasure of noshing on delicious forbidden sweets without the guilt that would otherwise accompanying that diversion from dietary health makes of a terrific cookbook to keep handy for those `weak' moments.Among the nearly 40 recipes, each accompanied by a beautiful color photographs of the finished product and with detail instructions on how to gather the ingredients and make and bake and frost them are the following: carrot cupcakes with orange icing, chocolate cream cheese cupcakes, Brownie cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, Chocolate raspberry protein cupcakes, chocolate almond cupcakes with coconut frosting, mini vanilla cupcakes, mini Paris cupcakes, cranberry cupcakes with dulce de leche pecan frosting, pumpkin pie cupcakes, lemon blueberry cupcakes, pumpkin protein cookies, pina colada cupcakes, sweet potato cupcakes, white chocolate cupcakes with candied kumquats, tropical cupcakes, strawberry angel food cupcakes - the list goes on.This is a very well conceived, well-written cookbook that should please every taste bud around.
