Prohibition Bakery: A Baking Cookbook

For all you boozy cupcake bakers out there----look no further! Without a doubt, this is the book you want to purchase...perhaps the ONLY one you'll need to create the most amazing mini boozy cupcakes around. The authors have created a book that is humorous and entertaining, extremely creative in the design and layout and their explanations of the why's and how's are beneficial to the seasoned drinker --ooops! I mean baker--as well as the novice. With combinations of cake/fillings/frostings that are out of this world, you will be tempted to drop everything you're doing--RIGHT NOW--get to the liquor store and then to the kitchen. Which is exactly what I did. I made four of their recipes in the first 24 hours and each one was better than the next. They have picked the right combinations of flavors as well as garnishes and created masterpieces. I highly recommend this book...these women are pure geniuses. They have an interesting background and give hope to all small home bakeries! Thank you for such an amazing book. I've included a few photos of finished products--there are alcohol infusers used on two of these--not something they do but I've got a few friends who like the additional "umph!" in their cupcakes.

AMAZING! These cupcakes are such an original idea. This book is more than a cookbook--it's a great read. I've tried many of these cupcakes and they are delicious. For anyone who wants to make something a little different at the next party, for anyone who likes to bake, for anyone who wants to add an awesome cookbook to a growing collection, I highly recommend ordering it. This book walks you through what you need in your kitchen and why, and it gives the novice baker tips on how to make these cupcakes look and taste professional--all with a dose of humor. I'm so glad this great little NYC bakery decided to publish a cookbook. I highly recommend visiting the Bakery if you are ever in NYC, but for those who can't, this book brings the Bakery to you.

Fun reading and good recipes! I bought my first copy (what seems like) 100 years ago...now back for a gift for my cousin.

I love the idea of baked goods inspired by vintage cocktails and this book offers plenty of exciting possibilities! So far I've only made one recipe from it (I just got it earlier this week), but I, along with my taste-testers, were all very happy with the result. I made the "Mexican Hot Chocolate" cupcakes for a gathering yesterday and everyone adored them! There are many more recipes I have doggie-eared, and I expect that I'll be experimenting with some more soon, especially as the holiday season approaches.This is a cookbook for people who truly love a day in the kitchen, as all recipes have numerous steps to them. In many instances, you will need to make jams, jellies, syrups, or basic infusions before even getting started with the cupcake recipes. This should by no means be a deterrent, but if you're a single-bowl type baker, this book may not be for you.The only criticism I have of this book is its design. I think that the publishers went a bit mad when they were planning the layout. It is a nice book to look at, but a hard book to bake from. I adore the historical photos and artwork that appear throughout the book, as well as the author introductions, which appear before almost every recipe, but the publishers laid out the book in such a way that it is hard to read while in the kitchen. It is a tall and narrow book, at a hefty 315 pages, and I found it nearly impossible to get this book to lay flat enough to work from. Most recipes continue over four pages, which means you are constantly flipping the pages. Also, they used a small font, and very large margins, over a darkish page color. I am fairly young with good eyesight, yet I found myself struggling a bit to read the ingredients list and instructions while preparing everything. There is no reason why the publishers couldn't have laid out this book so that each recipe was on two facing pages. Making the book taller and wider book would only have increased its usability and appeal.

pretty book with tasty recipies

So these are not full-sized cupcakes but mini-cupcakes. I was a little thrown at first when the recipe yield was different than I predicted but for my friends it was perfect. The bite-sizeness makes it easy to eat on the go or at a party and the recipes are easy to follow- right up to decorating. I've made a couple of the recipes and they have become some of my friends' favorites. Not only do you get recipes for cupcakes, but how to make different jellies, frostings, and infused liquors and almost every recipe has three parts (the cake, a filling, and the icing). I also loved learning more about different drinks I hadn't tried yet and comes with some drink recipes and tips for both stocking your pantry for baking and drinking. Probably one of my favorite books ever.

Made The Mudslides Best Cupcakes Ever, they was a huge hit gone within 1 day amazing taste. These two authors have a huge hit with this cookbook hoping they come out with another cookbook Cupcakes with booze.

I was this in Barns and Nobel, and was so impressed that I went online to Amazon right there in the store and ordered on my phone.I love the details for every recipe. And they make it so very easy to follow the instructions for the cake portion of it. And also the making of the frosting and the applying of the frosting.I've already made the infusion jelly for two different cupcakes. I'll be making the cake portion and the frosting this weekend. I'll be sharing them with my friends and see what they think.

This is a really lovely quality book; I bought it as a gift and it's elegant in hardback with gold lettering.Written in a funny style too, it's engaging and fab for inspiration!Not for those who don't like swearing, or who need 'exact' instructions. (Things like "A Sh**tonne of apples" appear on ingredients lists)I bought it as a gift and it was well recieved!

me encanta la encuadernación y el contenido es expuesto de forma detallada y cuidada, artesana,tema tratado con dedicación y elegancia

A whole new slant on some old favourites.
