Jennifer Weiner, #1 New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner is soon to embark on a tour to celebrate the release on July 13 of her latest novel Fly Away Home. But this tour, is no ordinary tour, it is the ‘Cupcakes Across America Book Tour‘. Jen has selected her favorite bakers across the country, and will visit each one and encourages her fans to come and meet her over a cupcake.
Fly Away Home has so far received great reviews from Elle Magazine and USA Today to name just a few.
The tour has already started, but you can still catch it in the following locations:
I recently went looking for a baking cookbook for a friend and found a great site called Snubbr, a recommendation site. You ask them for recommendations, and they’ll find an expert to give you advice on what to buy. Check them out here.
I decided on one of our fan favorites (and mine too!), Hello Cupcake!
I love this book and am amazed by the clever use of ordinary food. The step by step photos allow those visual learners (like me) to succeed in making wonderful looking cuppies. My personal favorites are the spaghetti and meatballs and the pumpkins! So many cupcakes for so many different ocassions.
This week we are giving away a free cookbook of your choice (could be baking, cupcake, whatever), thanks to the kind folks over at Snubbr.com. First, click here to see what books you can choose from and then leave a comment in the comment area below telling us the title of the book (must be under $30), and a reason why you want to read it. We’ll choose our favorite comment on July 4th, and announce it here.
No idea what cookbook to get? Why not head over to Snubbr.com?
I love to read blogs, but they don’t usually make me cry. Then enter Love in the Time of Cupcakes! Darn her, she pulled on my cupcake strings!
Mary T. Wagner is the author of two books, Running with Stilettos and Heck on Heels. She’s a mother of four and an attorney, and yet she somehow still manages to write the touching and tear-jerking blog, Running with Stilettos.
In her essay Love in the Time of Cupcakes, Mary shares how, even though she was a busy career mom, she always made time to celebrate her children’s lives, and to be involved through cupcakes. She made two dozen “ghost cupcakes” for each of her three children in grammar school to help celebrate Halloween. Each tennis season, she made “tennis ball cupcakes” for her son’s and daughter’s teams. (She bemoans the fact that the girls would scream with delight at the cupcakes’ cuteness, but the boys would just inhale them!) This essay celebrates mothering and cupcaking at the same time, and was so beautiful that, even this early in the morning, I’m thinking of going to wake up my daughter. She won’t mind when I tell her we’re going to make some cupcakes!
From the authors of the famously popular Hello, Cupcake! comes What’s New Cupcake? I just received this newest recipe book last week and it is amazing!
Here’s what Amazon.com had to say about this yummy book:
The endlessly imaginative duo who turned cupcaking into a national pastime is back, with utterly new, eye-popping creations anyone can make. Create a race-car cupcake, a robot cupcake, or ravishing jewelry cupcakes for a birthday party. Surprise the family with Chinese takeout dinner cupcakes on April Fool’s or serve up a goofy chocolate moose. Captivate Mom with a bouquet of long-stemmed rose cupcakes and build sand castle cupcakes with the kids. All you need are candies from the corner store and cake mix and canned frosting.
