Cuppie Meets Ray's Pizza, or NYC gets ready for the invasion of Cakespy's Jessie Oleson

Did you know that our friend and Cakespy blogger, baker, artist and shop owner Jessie Oleson is on tour for her first cookbook, Cakespy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life (one word: S'moreos!!), specifically Tour de Sweet? (Click for all tour dates.) Well, she is, and I highly encourage you to check it out! We'll be there on November 9th at 2 pm Butter Lane and November 10th at 7 pm in Red Hook, and there are events this coming Monday and Tuesday in Boston. Treats are in store and her cookbook makes me want to lick the pages; more on that soon!



Alas, I don't think we are going to be as lucky as Jessie, who got to hang with Jay Mewes and Kevin Smith: (via Flickr)

Cupcakes in A Very Babymouse Christmas

I read the new Babymouse book, A Very Babymouse Christmas, and of course there were cupcakes involved! If you don't know the Babymouse series, this is the 15th book about a cupcake-loving, often foiled yet adorable mouse, written by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. In this book, Babymouse asks Santa, repeatedly, for a Whizbang, the latest does-everything phone, and has to learn a little about the Christmas (and Hannukah) spirit.
