The first is 'Cupcake' by Charise Mericle Harper. This is an adorable story of a vanilla cupcake feeling very inadequate next to his more 'foo foo' flavored peers. It's an adorable book about just loving who you are. It's becoming one of Avery's favorites!
The second is 'Tina Cocolina Queen of the Cupcakes' by Pablo Cartaya and Martin Howard. This is another story about finding yourself amongst the crowd and believing in your own individuality. This one has more of a 'pageant' feel, but without the sometimes negative aspects of pageantry.
I highly recommend that you pick up these two books for your favorite guy or gal! Heck, pick up the book, order some cupcakes and voila...you've got a complete birthday gift!
I'm feeling lonely and wondering if anyone is out there! I'm giving away one copy of 'Cupcake' to a lucky blog commenter! I'll take names of any of you who make comments between now and Thanksgiving Day. Each comment you make entitles you to an entry into the drawing for the book! Keep me motivated with your terrific comments! Also, become a blog follower and you'll get one DOUBLE entry for the prize!
I'm off to bake! This is a BIIIGGG order week!
Good eats,
Jill

I had my 1st "Just Like Mom's" Cupcake the day of Brooke Godsey's wedding. A very worthy form of payment for doing her makeup for that special day! Super yummy and I am VERY interested in that chocolate mint cupcake you featured recently...hint, hint!
ReplyDeleteJill I love the owl cake! ...and after seeing that you will never see William's monster truck cake! You are in a whole different league. Also, I told Omi and your business. If you ever need help with frosting or whatever give her a call, she said she would love to help.
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing gift! I wish I lived nearby because I would become a regular patron!!! Please keep blogging and showing off your fun creations.

I love the fact that along with baking, book reviews have become a part of the blog. My only suggestion is to start shipping to Little Rock. Every time I read the blog I wish you lived closer.
