The Cupcake Sketchbook

40 Cupcakes, Weighed and Drawn

Coming soon to Amazon

Forty cupcakes. One scale. No guesswork.

From vanilla bean and red velvet to pistachio rose and saffron cardamom, this sketchbook-style collection gathers forty cupcakes for every occasion: the classics, deep chocolate, bright fruit and citrus, warm spice and nut, and showstoppers for celebrations.

Every recipe is written in grams and comes with the numbers that matter at a glance: batch size, batter per liner, oven temperature and bake time, each with its own frosting and a hand-drawn watercolor illustration.

Inside: a frosting and piping guide, a conversion chart, a troubleshooting page, and room for your own recipe.

Inside the book

The Classics

Eight cupcakes every baker should know by heart. Master the vanilla and chocolate bases here and the rest of the book follows.

For Chocolate Lovers

Dark, glossy and unapologetic. Ganache, mocha, caramel and every excuse to add more chocolate.

Fruit & Citrus

Berries, zest and orchard fruit bring colour and brightness. Fresh fruit goes in the batter; freeze-dried fruit goes in the frosting.

Spice & Nut

Cinnamon, cardamom, saffron and toasted nuts. Cupcakes for cold evenings and a pot of tea.

Celebrations

Tall swirls and a little drama for birthdays, holidays and anyone who needs cheering up, plus gluten-free and vegan options.
