...they really take over the world ;)
I am so glad that I invested the money in that book. It is so great and the cupcakes are so tasty. And they are really fast to make. 10-15 minutes for the pastry + about 20 minutes baking and they are ready to eat (without some frosting).
As you can see: I can only recommend the book.
And now some pictures ;)
