Parents food stylist Karen Tack just released a "faaabulous" how-to book called Hello, Cupcake! Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make. GoodyBloggers GoodyVloggers Taryn, Amanda K., and I crashed the recent launch party with a camera to check out the book, chat with her about the art of dessert, and learn how to make some of the cutest cupcakes ever–well, everyone's except mine...thanks again, guys.
I just couldn't resist the cuteness.

Ever since we blogged about the infamous Wilton giant cupcake cake pan, our readers have been whipping up their own. It's been awhile since we've shared their (seriously impressive) baking skillz, so we bring you eight more examples of rockin' reader giant cupcakes.
These super sweet cupcake storage bags from KangaRoom are perfect for keeping small toys and hair supplies from getting lost in your kid's room. You can zip them open or pull the drawstring to reach inside. So cute!
If you're looking for a cute way to cut down on the sugar rush epidemic at your child's next birthday party, here is a great solution. These two-bite cupcakes are not only beyond adorable, but they are easy to make, and fun to eat (kids love anything on a stick).
Go to Bakerella to learn how to make them. Thanks to How About Orange for the link!
Presenting Elaine Ashton's work of art! Here's what she had to say
I saw the cake on the GoodyBlog and had to have one even though I need another specialty baking pan like I need less sleep, but I thought it would be a fun cake to make for my daughter's first birthday. It turned out really well and, although she didn't seem all that enthused about a chocolate cake, my husband and I enjoyed it. :) It's a fun pan that remarkably bakes both sides evenly in spite of the difference in shape and volume in the two halves. Lots of fun making it. Thanks so much for the idea!

Back in July we wrote about the now famous giant cupcake pan from Wilton. There has been much discussion in the comments about creating this awesome cake (100 +) comments! Now our Rockin' Reader Melinda Dragicevich has sent us a photo of her super sized cupcake along with how she made it:
Attached are some pictures of a cake that I made last weekend with my cupcake pan.
The top half used about 3 cups of cake mix & the bottom about 3.5 cups. Baked at 325 for 65 minutes. I frosted it with my Wilton Dessert Decorator Pro, and piped the icing around the top using the star tip.Hope this helps anyone who is looking to bake this cake
Wow! This looks so great! Has anyone else made one? If so will you send us a pic? Thanks Melinda!
