Martha, Martha, Martha!



Why is it that every time Martha publishes a book on a topic she is suddenly saving the genre, reinventing it, taking it to an all new high? I know, I know, she is uber talented. She has a creative staff working for her that is larger than some university campuses. Greg Morago of the Houston Chronicle recently did a review of the new book and proclaims that she has singlehandedly saved the cupcake trend. While I, myself, think it is a good book, so are a lot of the 25 other cupcake books that are sitting on my bookshelf right now. I'm just saying...why is it Martha that is proclaimed the savior??? There are many other premiere cupcakers out there, yet to have their book, yet to have their fame. Ladies (and gentlemen), you know who you are.

oh geez, that woman bugs the crap outta me...I don't believe for 1 minute that she comes up with a fraction of what talks about on her own...she is just like everyone else who is looking in magazines & online at the trend designers...the difference between us & her is that she happened to know someone and was in the right place at the right time...and then there was the prison stay...that always pushes people into the spotlight *eye roll* I NEVER think of Martha when I think of cupcakes...she should stay away from cupcakes, she'll just ruin them

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! I get so sick of Martha, Martha, Martha everything! We all could make a mint if we had staff to research, create the PERFECT recipe and then show us how to do it on TV!!! I have NEVER bought anything to do with Martha and never will!!! I agree MANY much more talented cupcakers out there!!!
