Cupcake Club

Craving something sweet? New York Times bestselling author Sheryl Berk and her nine-year-old daughter Carrie have the perfect recipe with their new series, Peace Love and Cupcakes. The first book The Cupcake Club, introduces quiet fourth-grader Kylie Carson. Kylie is sort of an outsider— unsure of herself around her classmates, she’s constantly bullied by popular girl Meredith and has no friends, until her new drama teacher encourages her to start a cupcake club at school.

Joining Kylie in her newfound passion is Jenna Abbott, who’s teased for being overweight; shy Lexi Poole, who practically passes out every time she has to give a book report in front of her classmates (but is an incredible artist); and Sadie Pomerantz, who has been held back a year and dubbed “a dummy” by mean kids when she is really struggling with a learning disability. The four newfound friends want to show their school spirit and create Cupcakes for a Cause, which will raise money for the new EcoCenter. Soon, Kylie and the other social misfits are busting out of their shells and baking up a storm. When the club is commissioned for Meredith’s birthday, Kylie gets a chance to take sweet revenge.

The Cupcake Club is the first book in the Peace, Love and Cupcakes series, and each book will feature yummy, original cupcake recipes from the story. This fabulous new friendship series is slated to be a sweet success!

New York Times bestselling co-author of Soul Surfer, SHERYL BERK is the founding editor in chief of Life & Style Weekly as well as a contributor to InStyle, Martha Stewart, and other publications. Her nine-year-old daughter, CARRIE, a cupcake connoisseur, cooked up the idea for the TLC series in second grade. Together, they have invented dozens of crazy cupcakes recipes in their NYC kitchen (can you say "Purple Velvet?") and have the frosting stains on the ceiling to prove it.
