Everybody loves cupcakes. But everyone loves beautifully decorated cupcakes even more. Hello Cupcake! is a recipe book of sorts, where step by step instructions containing the secrets to making the most beautiful cupcakes ever can be found.
To start you off, Hello Cupcake! includes recipes for 10 different kinds of cupcakes. Subsequent recipes can be bought through in-app purchases. From cakes shaped like butterflies to those shaped like penguins, Hello Cupcake! will take you through ever step to create that magnificent and equally tasty pastry.
It is worth noting that Hello Cupcake! is a basically foolproof guide to creating pleasant looking cupcakes. With extremely detailed instructions ranging from written instructions to photographs and even video demonstrations, there is no way you can go wrong with this. The ingredients lists provided are also very thorough, with measurements of ingredients given to you so that you will not go wrong.
For $2.99, Hello Cupcake! is something you might want to consider getting. While it does help a lot by dishing out new pastry ideas, the price is a little too steep for an app like this, coupled with the fact that you only get 10 recipes and further guides have to be purchased in-app.
