The Cupcake Boy

Stories about the making of our book, The Cupcake Boy. Part of the Make-A-Book Project. Synopsis: The Cupcake Boy is the story about a boy who makes the most beautiful and tasty cupcakes in the world; however, the villagers take the boy for granted. So disheartened, he leaves his home wondering: “Why should I bake cupcakes for a world that doesn’t love me?

The following is a step by step summary of how the book is made, including: planning, creating, celebrating and making a difference in the world.
