Hello, Cupcake!

I receive, nightly, a copy of the blog put out by some of the writers at Real Simple Magazine. (If you are a fan of Real Simple, and haven't done this- you absolutely should! It's free and it's basically like waking up to a mini-magazine of ALL your favorites every morning! Go here to subscribe!)

Today's post included a book review on a precious book called "Hello, Cupcake!" by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. You can go here for Real Simple's review, but I wanted to just post a few pictures of some sweet examples in this book so that you know you should can go out and get one for yourself!

Here are some aliens in their personal UFO's and some classic bugs out of M&M's! Below this picture is a way cool "Shark Attack" with mini-doughnuts for life preservers and channel markers from mini ice cream cones and small lollipops, as well as "Popcorn" made with marshmallows!:

And probably my favorites...
Spaghetti and Meatballs- with chocolate hazelnut balls for the meatball, covered in strawberry jam on a bed of icing!

And we'll leave this up to your findings... can you figure out where this "TV dinner" and "corn on the cob" come from!!!!! (Hint: does the "pat of butter" look like a yellow Starburst to you?)

Enjoy! And have fun entertaining with these great conversation starters that will TASTE sweet, too! :)
