Product Description
Witty, one-of-a-kind imaginative cupcake designs using candies from the local convenience store.

America's favorite food photography team, responsible for the covers of America's top magazines, shows how to create funny, scary, and sophisticated masterpieces, using a zipper lock bag and common candies and snack items.With these easy-to-follow techniques, even the most kitchen-challenged cooks can

• raise a big-top circus cupcake tier for a kid's birthday
• plant candy vegetables on Oreo earth cupcakes for a garden party
• trot out a line of confectionery "pupcakes" for a dog fancier
• serve sausage and pepperoni pizza cupcakes for April Fool's Day
• bewitch trick-or-treaters with chilly ghost chocolate cupcakes
• create holidays on icing with turkey cupcake place cards, a white cupcake Christmas wreath, and Easter egg cupcakes

No baking skills or fancy pastry equipment is required. Spotting the familiar items in the hundreds of brilliant photos is at least half the fun.

Hello Cupcake
This is a great book with lots of cute and fun ideas. Most of the cupcakes can be made with very little or no cake decorating experience. I am making the "spaghetti" for a cake walk and am sure it will be a great hit!
Most of the candy used is easy to come by and you can use cake mixes and canned frosting so you don't even have to be a good baker! If you have kids this would give you some fun projects to work on together.

Hello Cupcake
One of the most creative books I've seen in a long time. I enjoy just looking at it. My kids are grown and I may not make any of these treats for some time, but the ideas alone are worth the price of the book. I highly recommend it to mom's of young kids who have to do those classroom parties or birthdays. It's amazing!!!!

Cute cupcakes, and so easy
I have NO cake decorating skills whatsoever and I have made 2 of the cupcake designs from this book: the pumpkins and the billard balls. Though they weren't as professional looking as the ones in the photos, they were still very cute. Everyone who saw them raved over them. My family has already bought their own copies of this book after seeing the results. I highly recommend it.
