Karen Tack and Alan Richardson launched a national cupcaking craze with their beautiful, imaginative, and witty creations that are so easy anyone can make them — no baking experience or equipment required. All you need are candies from the convenience store. This sampler shows you how to make hilarious cupcakes that look just like spaghetti and meatballs, brilliant sunflower cupcakes to surprise Mom or friends, cupcake bake sale pies for a potluck, adorable sheep from pound cake, and for your little girl, stunningly fashionable high heels with graham-cracker soles.
Called “the cake whisperer” by Gourmet, KAREN TACK is a cooking teacher and food stylist. Her work can be seen on the covers of Gourmet, Bon Appétit, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Woman’s Day, Martha Stewart Living, Parents, Real Simple, Nick Jr., and many others.
