Made by MeghanWhen I released Dowser #1 in June 2013, I was completely blown away by a few readers who emailed to tell me that they’d felt compelled to bake cupcakes while reading the book. I’ve previously blogged about Michelle’s and Gertie’s – book 1 and Gertie’s – book 2. Since then, Gertie has taken it upon herself to form the ‘Cupcake […]
Updated recipe: April 18, 2016 —————- Original post: As previously mentioned, four new cupcakes appear in Jade’s bakery, Cake in a Cup, during Trinkets (Etc). Jade attempts to create two other types as the story progresses, but is unsatisfied with the results. If you like reading into a character’s actions, the four successful cupcakes paired with […]
I’m slightly delayed in sharing, but Gertie made these gorgeous classic chocolate cupcakes with coffee buttercream frosting to help celebrate the release of Trinkets (Etc). Trinkets Cupcakes 2013, a photo by apocalypsewhenever on Flickr. I’m a little ashamed that your cupcakes always look so much prettier than mine, Gertie!!
Here is the first of four new cupcakes that appear in the second Dowser book, Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic. Which, BTW – nine days ahead of schedule – is now available over on Amazon (because Amazon rocks – ha!) Three more cupcakes to come! ETA: Jen just asked in the comments if the cake could […]

Not sure about the brown font, but it’s CMYK for “baker’s chocolate” so how could I resist? Do you have any favourite quotes from Cupcakes […]
I hit 27,400 words on the Cupcakes (Etc) sequel on Friday and celebrated by testing some of Jade’s new cupcakes. The cupcakes were so tasty – exactly what I wanted (and Jade needed). Yes, poor Jade. It’s been a rough couple of months for the Dowser.
Updated recipe: April 18, 2016 ————– Original post: Heather from Doubleshot Reviews requested the recipe for the “dark chocolate cupcakes with dark chocolate cream cheese icing” AKA Lust in a Cup from my new novel, Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic. These cupcakes are also known as Jade’s – the lead character  – favourite cupcake. Since Heather […]
Last week I found this monster zucchini hiding behind a garbage can full of crazy potato plants (more on those later). Under this stealthy cover the zucchini was able to grow beyond tasty eating size and into what-the-hell-am-I-going-to-do-with-this proportions. So this: Monster “Ambassador” Zucchini Became this: Monster Zucchini = 8+ cups when grated!! Became these: […]
