Bookroo's summary

Cupcake faces a party-planning crisis as every idea crumbles under hilarious mishaps. With Soup seasick and Donut melting, her birthday seems doomed. But when all hope seems lost, Blueberry Muffin offers a last-minute idea that might just save the celebration. Will Cupcake's birthday be a sweet success or a recipe for disaster? Dive into this laugh-out-loud adventure filled with quirky characters and unexpected twists.

From the publisher

From the creator of Peanut Butter & Cupcake comes a birthday book starring everyone’s favorite dessert!

What’s a cupcake to do when she needs to plan her birthday party? In this hilarious, kid-friendly homage to food and birthdays, Cupcake runs through tons of ideas while her best friend, Blueberry Muffin, finds reasons why they won’t work: Soup gets seasick; Donut melts in the sun; someome might get squashed during musical chairs; and Cupcake is not very good at limbo (her icing might get sliced off!). Just as Cupcake is ready to crumble, Blueberry Muffin has one last idea that just might save the day.

With laugh-out-loud visual gags (like a band made up of beans–the musical fruit, of course), this book is sure to put a birthday smile on any kid’s face (and on adult faces as well).
