read this book right away!

I just got a copy out of the library-have I mentioned how wonderful the Boston public library is? they have everything, and I can have all my books delivered to my local branch down the street. amazing. I always preview cook books at the library before I buy them-this way I can test a few recipes, see if I like how they are presented, before making the commitment.
anyway, Hello, Cupcake, written by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson has made it onto my purchase list. it is a beautiful, creative book that shows you step by step with Alan Richardson's gorgeous photographs how to construct the coolest, cutest cupcakes I have ever seen. Horses with wafer cookie necks! penguins with chocolate cookie wings! how to make a whole pack of different breed dogs! i cant wait for any excuse to try my hand at these delightful cupcakes. I added a link to their website, which gets updated with more ideas. fun fun fun!
