Children's cupcake novel author Lisa Schroeder has fun with cupcakes on YouTube to promote Sprinkles and Secrets

Lisa Schroeder, whose book It's Raining Cupcakes came out last year, is back with a sequel called Sprinkles and Secrets and to promote it, she's made lots of YouTube videos with her dressed as a cupcake! Check out her blog at lisaschroederbooks.com for more information.



Plot description:

Twelve-year-old Sophie has always dreamed of becoming an actress and being in front of the camera. So when she’s offered an opportunity to audition for a TV commercial spot—and a chance to make her dreams come true—she’s over-the-moon happy. But then she finds out what exactly she’ll be advertising: the scrumptious, ever-popular brownies from Beatrice’s Brownies. And there’s just one problem with Beatrice’s Brownies….the brand is the number one competitor to It’s Raining Cupcakes, the shop owned by her best friend Isabel’s family.

Sophie has a tough choice to make: Follow her dreams or crush her best friend. What’s a girl to do?

The first one, the Scrabble video, is my favorite, as a word nerd.

Win one of three copies of children's book You Are My Cupcake

Our latest contest, which you can enter on Formstack, is to win an adorable new children's board book, You Are My Cupcake by Joyce Wan. US addresses only. Deadline is Friday, August 12th, 5 pm EST. We will email the winners for their addresses.

You can also buy You Are My Cupcake from Amazon.



Here's what Publishers Weekly said about it:

"You are my cupcake... My sticky little gumdrop... My mushy little sweet pea," coos this plucky board book featuring terms of endearment based on cutely personified foods. Embossed for a satisfying tactile effect, Wan's digitized characters, reminiscent of Japanese animation, have chocolate-brown eyes and rosy cheeks. "Baby, I could just eat you up!" concludes the adoring final spread. All that's left of the cupcake is its smiling, green liner. Presumably, no actual cupcakes were harmed in the making of this crowd-pleasing plum. Ages 4–8. (Aug.)”
