I bought this when my copy of the previous edition met an unfortunate demise when it got attacked by bookworms (I'm not talking about book-lovers here) in my old apartment. The decorating ideas were perfectly fine, but a lot of the suggestions called for specialty equipment and a trip to Michael's. I thought the recipes in the previous edition were better in general and I also liked that most of the recipes in the older edition could be done with a set of regular pans, decorating tips, and inexpensive ingredients from the grocery store. Many of the ideas in this book are in line with modern cupcake-decorating trends, so maybe I'm just old-fashioned.
