![]() Just so happens Eggplant is planning a trip to Turkey to visit his Aunt Aubergine, who is business partners with Turkish Delight, the greatest pastry chef in the world and Cupcake’s culinary idol. Despite having won blue ribbons for Best Fruit Pie, Fluffiest Cake and Most Perfect Cookie, Cupcake gets into a baking rut. So, Cupcake is living the sweet life - bakes delectable treats at his own Sweet Tooth Bakery and plays drums in a cool band with his best friend Eggplant. This toothsome graphic novel is just quirky enough - a few squiggly degrees to the left of center - to avoid being cloying, overly sentimental, or cutesy, something that can easily happen when your main character is a pink cupcake in a town populated with walking food. ![]() Such a lovely, feel-good story about friendship. Oh my, but I do love Sara Varon’s Bake Sale! And recently I made the brownies featured in it. ![]()
