We all like a sweet treat now and then, and they always taste better when they are homemade. Thanks to the wonders of the App Store, there are a plethora of recipes readily available at your fingertips.
Whether you crave a cupcake, fancy a fruity flan or are desirous of a delicious dessert, we've found six apps that offer some scrumptious recipes for you to have a crack at.
So, don your apron and take a look through the app selection in this tasty gallery. Let us know which apps you've cooked up a storm with in the comments below.
1. Chocolate - Irresistible Recipes
With 55 choc-tastic recipes, this is a good buy for any chocoholics out there. Categories include sweets and drinks as well as the more standard hot and cold desserts, cakes and cookies.
Ingredients for recipes are listed clearly, and the method section includes some step-by-step photos which you can choose to play in a slideshow for a quick overview.
With easy no-baking recipes right through to advanced treats for special occassions, you'll be sure to find something to tempt you.
Extra features are thin on the ground (a little disappointing for the price tag) but there are the useful options to favorite and email recipes.
Cost: $2.99
2. BBC Good Food Cake Recipes
This is a fantastic example of how a foodie app can go beyond the ebook experience. In addition to a solid library of yummy cakes to make, Good Food Cake Recipes boasts some well-thought out features.
These include the ability to add a recipe to the app's shopping list (the ingredients are then, rather handily, listed in order of supermarket sections), a built-in timer, and the ability to show recipes in both metric and standard measurments.
The photography is nice, the instructions are clear, and other extras - which include nutritional info, tutorial videos, trouble shooting, tips, and the option to share recipes on Facebook and Twitter, make this a great app, and well worth the two dollar download.
Cost: $1.99
3. iCooking Desserts
What we like about this app, aside from its reasonable price tag ($0.99 for 58 recipes) is the international flavor of the recipe selection.
As well as more traditional Western desserts, the app offers a few choice options from Asia and Africa, giving you the chance to try something new.
Recipes are divided into three sections -- a photo of the finished product, a list of ingredients and a preparation guide.
Extras include the ability to email recipes, add to favorites, and the handy option to add your own recipes to the app.
Cost: $0.99
4. Cookie Nook
Cookie monsters will love this app, which offers around 25 cookie recipes in a simple, no fuss format with fun graphics.
You can select the type of cookie you'd like to make from the baking tray display, then tap through to see a list of ingredients, easy-to-understand directions, and nutritional info.
Cost: $1.99
5. The Photo Cookbook – Baking
The most expensive app we've picked is also the best looking, with over 500 photographs illustrating 60 recipes.
With a designer layout to match, the Photo Cookbook is a pleasure to browse. It offers a photo view of ingredients as well as great step-by-step pics.
In addition to some delicious sweet options, this app also covers a range of breads and great savoury baking recipes, so is a good all-rounder for more adventurous cooks.
Cost: $4.99
6. Cupcake Recipes
Ideal for baking beginners or kids, this app offers a wide range of cupcake variations, many of them offering easy baking options using cake mixes rather than ingredients from scratch.
Sadly, with no photos, the illustrations are none-the-less fun and the ingredients lists and instructions are simple and clear.
More experienced cupcake makers may still find interest in this app's more unusual recipes -- "Maharani," chai, and even chocolate zucchini!
Cost: $1.99
