Made by MeghanI’ve had a few requests to post a list of the cupcakes eaten or mentioned in the Dowser books with each new release. So, I thought I would dash off this blog post just in case anyone wanted to bake before – or while – they’re reading Dowser 5 (release date: July 23, 2015). New Creations (recipes to […]
Here is Charm in a Cup from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1) and  Maps, Artifacts, and Other Arcane Magic (Dowser 5). This is a super dense, but moist, sponge cake. The cake is also the base for Sunshine in a Cup and Joy in a Cup. The frosting is also the icing for […]
So this is one of those recipes I swear I’ve posted before, but now I can’t seem to find it. Love in a Cup from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1) as well as Maps, Artifacts, and Other Arcane Magic (Dowser 5). <3 <3 <3 The Dowser 5 ebook will be available THURSDAY, JULY […]
Updated recipe: April 18, 2016 —————– Original Post: I did a poll to ask readers of the Dowser Series what cupcake Drake should eat in Maps, Artifacts, and Other Arcane Magic (Dowser 5). Buzz in a Cup won. ETA: as a noncoffee drinker I found these very strong, as a regular coffee drinker (who drinks his […]
CONTEST CLOSED! Winner: CORI from NEW YORK, USA. Lucky #4 I still have a few of those misprinted paperbacks hanging around in a box in my office. It’s a handy box, because it raises my laptop up when I’m working from the treadmill desk, but it isn’t very pretty. I should replace it with something […]
At the beginning of Dowser 5 *spoiler alert* Drake eats three different cupcakes. Two are new creations of Jade’s, and the fledgling has previously tasted the third one. As I was working through the third draft today, I thought it might be fun if readers of the Dowser Series decided on the ‘previously tasted’ cupcake. To that end, I have embedded […]
Presenting Tease in a Cup, Kandy’s second birthday cupcake, from Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4). These blackberry chocolate cupcakes share the same base with Sass in a Cup but they’re iced with blackberry buttercream! The touch of lemon in the buttercream is definitely the secret ingredient. So tasty! ∞ Tease in a Cup was originally featured on the Reader […]
Yesterday a lovely neighbour messaged to see if I wanted a dozen of her eggs. Though I had a dozen in the fridge, I immediately said “yes, please,” jumped in the car, and tore off down the street to pick them up. Who says no to farm fresh eggs? Not me. Before I even got […]
Updated recipe: April 18, 2016 —————- Original Post: Presenting Sass in a Cup – one of Kandy’s birthday cupcakes – from Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4). These blackberry chocolate cupcakes frosted with a generous swirl of blackberry chocolate buttercream happen to be my favourite of the four new cupcakes mentioned in Dowser 4. They’re […]
I’m about to send The Oracle #1 off to the editor – yay – and dig back into writing Dowser #4. Yes, I have titles for both of those books and I will release them soon as well. During the next couple of weeks as I write Dowser #4 I’m going to be doing some fun […]
