Karen Tack and Alan Richardson launched an international cupcake sensation with their books Hello, Cupcake! and What’s New, Cupcake? Now these baking-tin masterminds are back with the irresistible Hello, Cupcake! app, available on iTunes. The app contains a selection of ten digitally enhanced projects from the two books, with additional cupcake projects available to expand your collection. It’s a treasure trove of cupcake ideas!
Among the app’s notable features are charming stop-motion animations for each cupcake project: penguins racing through the snow, monarchs colonizing a gorgeous blossom, a polar bear fishing for his dinner. The app also features step-by-step how-to videos for each cupcake project, none of which requires hard-to-find ingredients or advanced baking skills. Other features include detailed technique videos that take the guesswork out of the decorating process—from piping frosting to sugar-coating the cupcakes. There’s a photo catalog of ingredients and where to source them, too.
Whether you’re a cupcake craftsman or simply an admirer of imaginative cupcakes for the art of it, the Hello, Cupcake! app (www.hellocupcakeapp.com) will keep you entertained. You’ll want to watch these videos over and over. And talk about can-do inspiration: Even if you think you can’t boil a pot of water, we’re betting that these easy-to-follow how-tos will have you dropping everything to make cupcakes.
