"Thibeault is no stranger to baking. Starting her own custom cake and dessert business in 2006 before opening Luna Cafe (www.lunacafe.com) in 2011 in her hometown, Cleveland, she has icing in her blood. Thibeault's latest foray into the industry is a new cookbook featuring 52 "mini-lessons" on designing beautiful cupcakes. Bakers will find inspiration and success here, whether by using basic equipment found in most kitchens or by purchasing more advanced tools at baking supply stores or websites (a resource list is appended). Some of the author's favorite recipes are included. Verdict The beautiful graphics and the current popularity of cupcakes make this work a solid choice for public library collections. Even casual browsers will pick up useful tips for improving their baking."- LJXpress Review
