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 cake mix and canned frosting plus a few candies for decorating. So what is new, Cupcake? Dozens of "EZ" projects that use just a few ingredients--perfect for kids and parties. • More pictures, brighter colors, bolder designs. • More faux-food creations--so real you won't believe they're cupcakes! • More comical critters and the cutest pets ever! • More irresistible party centerpieces to celebrate hobbies, from golf to knitting. • More spectacular holiday cupcakes: Valentine's, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You'll end up with cupcakes so striking that you won't want to eat them--but so delicious you'll have no choice!
