Cupcakes

If you caught WMUR's NH Chronicle last Thursday, you saw a segment on Windham's own Shabby Chic cupcake bakery! If you missed it, you can see it here.

Shabby Chic's cupcakes were chosen for NH Magazine's [MAG NEW] "Best of NH 2009" issue, and a luscious looking chocolate cupcake adorned the cover of the July issue! Congratulations! It's nice to see local businesses getting recognition!

We have some colorful cake cookbooks if you'd like to try your hand a baking cupcakes from scratch (remember, most cake recipes can be baked in cupcake pans). Look for these the next time you visit:

Larrew, Brekka Hervey. Cheesecake Cupcakes and Other Cake Recipes. [J 641.8653 LAR]

Warren, Ann. The Cupcake Cafe Cookbook. [641.815 WAR]

For a little fun, there's a graphic novel with the catchy title, Cupcakes of Doom!, by Ray Friesen [J CX FRI]. How's this for an intriguing summary?

A humorous tale of Captain Scurvybeard and his band of pirates as they battle Vikings on the high seas, in the courtroom, and in the pastry marketplace, competing to find the coveted recipe for the Cupcakes of Doom, the legendary dessert.
