The Butch Bakery does cupcakes like nobody else. You can forget the pretty sparkles and the flowers on top, forget the pastel cupcakes for Easter or Halloween. These aren't cupcakes for little kids, but grown-up cupcakes full of contemporary, inventive flavors--like bacon, whiskey, coffee, and cayenne pepper.

"The Butch Bakery Cookbook" offers cupcakes for the twenty-first century--like a cupcake imbued with two different liqueurs or a devil's food cake made truly diabolical with a dose of chili powder. These are serious sweets. They're delightfully different and dangerously delicious. Author David Arrick has received tremendous media coverage since opening Butch BakeryPerfect for dessert or cupcake lovers who are tired of the same old vanilla or chocolate cake with icing on top

For anyone who wants a dessert that breaks the mold and challenges the taste buds with modern flavors and inspired ingredients, "The Butch Bakery Cookbook" delivers the goods--seriously.
