MY BOOK BEGINNING




You could say that party planning is in my DNA. I'm not sure which of my ancestors was first bit by the hospitality bug, but I clearly come from a family of celebrators with a flair for festivities and a knack for fun.

-- From the authors introduction, "The Party Starts Here: Why I'm obsessed with creating joyful celebrations" in Trophy Cupcakes & Parties! Deliciously Fun Party Ideas and Recipes from Seattle's Prize-Winning Cupcake Bakery by Jennifer Shea, photographs by Rena Jordan.

The photos and ideas in Trophy Cupcakes & Parties would inspire any partygiver, whether looking to add panache to a grown-up party or find a new idea for a kid event.  When you need more than Pinterest, this would be the source to turn to.

This is another fun and beautiful book from Sasquatch Books.  They are on a roll!
