It will make all your cupcake experiences more thrilling. And they have a lot of tasty recipes! It's a pretty cheap book, it's thin and full of ideas. I think her website is http://www.yummyfun.com and they have free recipes and stuff. They have this cool fishbowl jello thing you can do and stuff.

Answer 8

Oh, you know, the usual. Flour, eggs, sugar. My secret, though, is a careful combination of Creme Soda and squid. It has to be a ratio of 4/7, though. If you don't get the ratio right, it's just downright slimy.

Enjoy your cooking!
