How to Eat a Cupcake (Books from A to Z)

This book has such a fun title that it just had to be on my to-read list!  Cupcakes are everywhere nowadays!  I feel like everytime I look around, there is a new TV show, new recipes, blogs, you name it with the name cupcake!  I'm not complaining - I love to eat cupcakes!  Just sayin'!!

Earlier this year, I read the book Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler.  The character in that book made cupcakes.  The chapter titles were cupcakes.  I think that was the first time that I really noticed cupcakes in books - other than cookbooks, that is!

Blurb:  Funny, free-spirited Annie Quintana and sophisticated, ambitious Julia St. Clair come from two different worlds. Yet, as the daughter of the St. Clair’s housekeeper, Annie grew up in Julia’s San Francisco mansion and they forged a bond that only two little girls who know nothing of class differences and scholarships could—until a life-altering betrayal destroyed their friendship. 


A decade later, Annie is now a talented, if underpaid, pastry chef who bakes to fill the void left in her heart by her mother’s death. Julia, a successful businesswoman, is tormented by a painful secret that could jeopardize her engagement to the man she loves. When a chance reunion prompts the unlikely duo to open a cupcakery, they must overcome past hurts and a mysterious saboteur or risk losing their fledgling business and any chance of healing their fractured friendship.

About the Author:   Meg Donohue has an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University and a BA in comparative literature from Dartmouth College. Born and raised in Philadelphia, she now lives in San Francisco with her husband, two young daughters, dog, and a weakness for salted caramel cupcakes. HOW TO EAT A CUPCAKE is her first novel.
