Sara Varon

Cupcake's life is pretty good. He's got his bakery, and his band, and his best friend, Eggplant. The days generally pass in a pleasant blurr of baking, socializing, and playing music. Things aren't always so easy, though. Lately, Cupcake has been struggling in the kitchen. He's sure the solution to all his problems is out there somewhere. But is he looking in all the wrong places?



Sara Varon returns with an ageless tale as dreamy and evocative as her break-out hit graphic novel Robot Dreams. At once deeply metaphorical and hilariously literal, Cupcake is a story for anyone who's ever looked for an easy answer to life's intractible difficulties. It's also a cookbook: Varon includes twelve original recipes, from classic cupcakes to sugared flower petals to marzipan.
