Can you recommend a good cupcake recipe book?

I am about to buy my daughter a cupcake recipe book, but there seem to be so many to choose from.
She is just starting out baking, so perhaps a book with lots of pictures, so she can see exactly how they should turn out. Also maybe a book which would show her how to decorate the cupcakes.

Do you also have any cupcake recipes of your own?

Really, any book with good cake recipes will be suitable for cupcakes. The big deal about cupcakes is the decorating. Look for good buttercream recipes in whatever book you choose for her.
