A light and fluffy book with a big theme for young readers. Being chosen can be difficult to handle any time in life. Cupcake and Candle found each other and devise ways of improving one's appearance. One little change can make a big difference, just like one friend can mean the world to someone.

Theme: Cupcakes
Additional themes: identity, friendship, feelings

What's going on here, exactly? Cupcake is sad because he's only made of vanilla frosting, and therefore has not been bought and eaten (killed?) by customers at the cupcake shop. I don't get it.

Am I a bad person for wanting to eat a book's protagonist?

I read this while standing in the children's section of the library. Not loudly, but to my boyfriend after reading it quietly to show him how adorable it was (He was not that impressed with it..but then he rather eat cupcakes then read about them). I absolutely thought this was silly and cute especially the end! I had expected this little story to end differently but was happily surprised it did not end up the way I thought it should/was going to.
