Well, this is quite a baking book.
Starting off with the first thirty-one pages, which contain some of the most
profanity laced – and best – advice I’ve read about baking. (Hmm, maybe I’ve
been doing it all wrong.) But I couldn’t put Robicelli’s: A
Love Story with Cupcakes down as I read through the fore matter,
which the authors admonish that you’d better read because they “spent the
better part of two freaking years” writing it because they “don’t want you
jumping in like a lunatic and do(ing) something stupid.” Fair enough.
So it’s a good idea to drop any
reluctance you have to strong language – and cupcakes – if you want to enjoy
this book, which I couldn’t put down and is truly laugh-out-loud funny. After
dropping a number of f-bombs,
the Robicelli’s warn you
right off the bat that you’re probably thinking that cupcakes are stupid. And
they agree with you, that many cupcakes are. But they make their case saying
cupcakes are basically individual-sized versions of cake, which they say is one
of the top five things in the world. And everyone likes cake – so why the hate?
