From the Desk of A.J. - Hello Cupcake! Book



Planning the big first B-day party for the babe and I can’t help but drool over a book I received from my sister for my first mother’s day. It’s Hello Cupcake! By Karen Tack.

Whether you are getting ready for a birthday party (bowling, sports, dino, bugs, too many themes to list!), tea time, wedding, bake sale, you name it…this book holds the tools and tips for the perfect cupcakes!!

What’s great is she gives you ideas that you never would have thought of (rolling out your favorite candies like Tootsie Rolls, Starbursts and more to cut into antennas, flowers, faces), …but seem within reach…and since its beautifully photographed by Alan Richardson, you can see the details that make these little cupcakes big works of art.

They also have a blog that gives out “cupcake challenges” by readers…the more you make, the better your design hand will become…its your own personal game…but with a great treat at the end.

A cupcake is yummy no matter what it looks like…but serving a tray of these to your friends and family will be sure to give you a lot of ooohs and aaaahs:)
