What's short and sweet and cute as a button? Cupcakes!

And everyone loves them. Trusted favorites at picnics, potlucks, and bake sales, cupcakes are just as welcome for an elegant dessert as they are at relaxed and informal gatherings. No matter why you bake them, cupcakes are a recipe for happiness

Here are more than 50 scrumptious ways to bring smiles and those nostalgic memories back faster than a kid can lick the batter off a beater. Try a Cinnamon Sugar Puff Cupcake - they go from mixing bowl to oven to one happy taker in less than an hour. Who needs a peanut butter cup when there's a Peanut Butter Cupcake in the house? Ethereal Lemon Angel Cupcakes soar even higher when served with some fresh seasonal fruit.

With tips and techniques for perfect cupcake-making, basic "head-start" recipes, it's time to get out the baking pans and join the cupcake craze.

These diminutive cakes may be small but they stand tall in the world of sweets.

Recipes include

• Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes
• Red, White and Blueberry Cupcakes
• Sticky Pecan Upside Down Cupcakes

All measurements are in imperial, but very few recipes require any ingredients to be weighed - most recipes use cup and spoon measurements only. The book has a page of conversions and equivalents.
