The Cake Mix Doctor

In June 1998, Anne Byrn wrote an article for a Nashville newspaper about how to bake cakes quickly by "doctoring up" a cake mix. She asked readers to share their doctored-up
recipes...and the rest is history. She has a whole line of baking books with the Cake Mix Doctor theme.

She published Cupcakes! from the Cake Mix Doctor in 2005 but I just bought the book today. I could not put it down. I skimmed it cover-to-cover and have started over from the beginning. She gives tips, recipes, baking times, preparation experiences and discusses how to turn ordinary cupcakes into celebration cakes using decorations that we already have in the kitchen.
