Hey! Your book looks amazing! I'm so excited for it to come out. Is it on presale anywhere right now? Your Terrier cupcakes are so cute, you should make some Doberman ones.

Hi Nina, We love making dog cupcakes. In our book we have a whole selection of pup cakes including a Dachshund which could easily be turned into a Doberman. Try shaping the cookie for the snout to look more like your Doberman and shape the tootsie roll ears to match. Have fun and stay in touch.

Hi Sue,
Thanks, we have a great time coming up with our cupcake designs. Glad you enjoy them. The book is for sale at AMAZON.com. You can find the AMAZON page link on our web site www.hellocupcakebook.com. Our publication date is in April so I think the book will not ship to you until then. Thanks for your interest and keep watching our web site and our blog. We plan to put a lot of fun cupcake stuff up for all of us to share.

Wondering if either of you have thought about visiting Maryland, or Northern Virginia. I see you have an itinerary up on your site, but the closest you are to me, is New York. I would love the opportunity to meet you!

Keep on cupcaking!

After seeing both the cupcakes featured on the cover of family circle and then later the April fool's segment on Martha Stewart, I had to have this book. We got it and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My 7 yr old and I have already made the dogs and are looking for any excuse to try the many other adorable ideas. Keep them coming!!!

Just went to Karen's cupcake class at Sur La Table. Loved it! If you can attend one of Karen and Alan's classes I highly recommend it. Thanks Karen for a wonderful night. And I'm looking at things a different way now.

We had a great time too. The classes are so much fun for us. We love seeing the look on faces when the light bulb goes on above your head and we know you have suddenly realized how we made the designs from candy and snacks. Better yet is watching you make them on your own. Thanks you for letting us share that experience with you, thanks for writing, and...

Hi, my husband just bought me your book for Mother's Day and it's just the most wonderful thing I've ever seen! It's my new favorite coffee table book! I was wondering if you could direct me to a place I can purchase solid colored paper liners. Specifically the dark brown ones. I have only been able to find white, pastel and patterned. Thanks so much!!

I hope your coffee table becomes the most popular spot in the house. Your question about paper liners is a good one. It is not easy to find nice thick paper liners in solid colors. Check out the sources in the back of Hello, Cupcake!: Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make
