I have a good one by Ceri Hadda that's just called "Cupcakes." It's from 1995, though, so it's probably out of print.

I hope someone gives you another lead!!

the Cake Mix doctor "Cupcakes", has some delicious ideas.

I also like Warren Browns "Cakelove", I've made alot of his recipes into cupcakes and they turn out beautifully.

And of course, Martha Stewarts new cupcake cookbook has some wonderful recipes in it also

I love to search blogs too, so many wonderful ideas. check out howtoeatacupcake.net - her blog is fantastic, and she has links to alot of other great blogs too.

My cupcake book is called "500 Cupcakes" by Fergal Connolly. It came out in 2005. It is broken down into 10 cupcake specialties which are .... 1)Classic Cupcakes, 2) Fragrant & Spiced Cupcakes, 3) Chocolate Cupcakes, 4) Decadent Cupcakes, 5) Muffins, 6) Cupcakes for special occassions, 7)Cupcakes for kids, icon_cool.gif Wholesome Muffins, 9) Low-fat Cupcakes, and 10) Cupcakes for special diets.

Another good thing about this book is that from an original recipe it gives tons of variations. Hope this is helpful for you.

Mine is Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery by Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas. There is not hundreds as in the other books but what is in there I have found to be exceptional.

The Australian Women's Weekly has a Cupcake book with THE most divine recipes! I have a few other recipe books (including the 500) but always find myself using the WW Cupcake book over any other.

Here's a link http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1863965637/?tag=cakecentral-20

I think it has been re-published since I bought it and is now called Cupcakes and fairycakes.

This link is to the actual one I definately bought but it has also been combined with their Cookies and their Cheesecakes book. It is definately worth the purchase! I had to buy them all separately!

I second Melnick's recommendation. They are awesome books. The book "Cupcakes" is one of my all-time favourite books (not just recipe books - ALL books icon_biggrin.gif )
