I have two hobbies that I love. Cupcakes, which is pretty obvious considering I have a blog dedicated to the subject. My second favorite activity after baking (and maybe eating) is reading! Queue light bulb moment! It just seemed obvious to bring the two together in some way. The Cupcake Book Club is born!
The concept is simple. Each month I’ll chose a novel with a cupcake (or baking theme) and post my review here. In addition, I’m going to bake something delicious inspired by the book.
I would also like to invite everyone to read, discuss and bake along with me. I also want to share! I’ll post a round up of any entries I receive. There are only a few loose guidelines stated below.
Guidelines
1. Make a good faith effort to start reading the chosen novel
2. Bake/cook/craft/create/whatever you hearts desire inspired by the chosen novel
3. Link to my post about the months chosen book. Feel free to use the book club logo.
3. Email me your name, link to your blog post (if you have a blog) and photo (1MB or less in size) of your treat, where you’re from, and 1-2 sentences of what you thought of the book or what in the book inspired your creation by the stated deadline.
4. No spoilers please
I hope everyone is excited to get reading!
Current Book
New book alert, The Union Street Bakery. Start reading now and join the discussion on the brand new Cupcake Book Club Forum! Send your inspired treat to me by June 10th and I’ll include all submissions in a round up shortly after.
