chocolate frosting for them. Go exotic and rich with exciting flavor

combinations they’ve never had before, such as Fresh Pear and Gingerbread
Cupcakes with a Creamy Lemon Frosting (page 59) or Cappuccino Chip
Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream (page 39).

TAURUS (April 21 to May 21): Classic elegance attracts your down-to-
earth Taurus. Forgo crazy colors and sprinkles. Taurus prefers rich earth-
toned goodies, such as German Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate

Shavings (page 27) or Triple Butterscotch Cupcakes (page 83).

GEMINI (May 22 to June 21): The sharp, clever Gemini appreciates a
cupcake appealing to his or her dual sides—the creative and slightly

decadent and the quiet and simple. Try Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes
with a Creamy Chocolate Blender Ganache (page 34) or Pineapple Upside-
Down Cupcakes (page 79)—or better yet, serve them both.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23): Moody Cancer craves comfort and purity.
So go with an all-white cupcake to coax the cautious crab out from under
the rock. Try Coconut Snowballs (page 66) or Bobbye’s Italian Cream

Cupcakes (page 68).

LEO (July 24 to August 24): Center-of-attention Leo demands strong
flavors and cupcakes with humor. Brooklyn Blackout Cupcakes (page 24)

and Inside-Out Peanut Butter Cupcakes (page 50) will cause the lion to roar
with laughter.

VIRGO (August 24 to September 23): Health-conscious Virgo won’t be
tempted by sinfully rich triple chocolate anything. He or she will lean
towards delicate fruit flavors and more healthy cupcakes like Mini Lemon
Curd Cupcakes with a Lemony Cream (page 63) or Rhubarb Crumble

Cupcakes (page 73).

LIBRA (September 24 to October 23): A bohemian at heart, Libra likes

artistic cupcakes, like Key Lime Pie Cupcakes with a Coconut Meringue
(page 75) or Warm Chocolate Cupcakes with Molten Centers and
Cinnamon Crème Anglaise (page 29). Libra loves cupcakes you can talk
about and savor as a group.
