Publisher's Synopsis
Rediscover the classic book that launched a thousand cupcakes.
'This is for those days or evenings when you want to usher a little something out of the kitchen that makes you thrill at the sheer pleasure you've conjured up.'
The classic baking bible by Nigella Lawson. This is the book that helped the world rediscover the joys of baking and kick-started the cupcake revolution, from cake shops around the country to The Great British Bake Off.
