I love when books try to make plain people feel special but I don't know if this one quiet reaches a convincing end. Vanilla cupcake doesn't get picked because she's not special and makes friends with candle who doesn't get picked because he's not special so he tries to help her become more special with a variety of toppings but nothing works. Its silly and thats nice and theres a cupcake recipe included so you could do more activity/conversation with it but it never really resolves anything

A light and fluffy book with a big theme for young readers. Being chosen can be difficult to handle any time in life. Cupcake and Candle found each other and devise ways of improving one's appearance. One little change can make a big difference, just like one friend can mean the world to someone.

What's going on here, exactly? Cupcake is sad because he's only made of vanilla frosting, and therefore has not been bought and eaten (killed?) by customers at the cupcake shop. I don't get it.

I read this while standing in the children's section of the library. Not loudly, but to my boyfriend after reading it quietly to show him how adorable it was (He was not that impressed with it..but then he rather eat cupcakes then read about them). I absolutely thought this was silly and cute especially the end! I had expected this little story to end differently but was happily surprised it did not end up the way I thought it should/was going to.
