No food shading. No fondant. No red velvet. Upscale pastry kitchen Robicelli's has gotten a hummed about, sought after purveyor of quite grown-up cupcakes. Nixing cutesy, pastel-hued touches of lighten for genuine fixings and rich French buttercreams, the couple group have reexamined the cupcake fever for a more modern sense of taste, making each a little bit of the best cake ever constructed.

The Brooklyn Blackout Cake (chocolate cake with chocolate custard buttercream, plunged in natively constructed fudge and abounded in chocolate cake morsels)

This is not your average dessert book, and I hope people know that going into it. It is FUNNY - Allison and Matt have a true passion and love for cupcakes and a superb sense of humor (yes, it is a bit vulgar!). I baked some of the best cupcakes of my life from this book - chocolate peanut butter pretzels - and they were divine. The buttercream recipe is worth the price of the book alone! --Taylor W.

I've had this book for a number of years now. All in all, I probably own a dozen different cupcake cookbooks. This one is my favorite by far. The pages are splattered with batter and the book naturally falls open to my favorite recipes (browned butter vanilla and chocolate). The writing is pretty sassy which I like. Will use this book until it falls apart - then I'll buy another one! --Tanoo

Great Book. Great cookbook. Entertaining and very informative. Written by professionals who explain how they work. Many of the cupcakes are not for kids (Irish Car Bomb) and creative (Chocolate Cabernet Cake). Wonderful references to classic movies (Rocky IV). Contains profanity, so not for your six year old kid, or if you are easily offended. Yeah, buy it for it's baking acumen and its entertainment value. --Greg
