  • An app to delight everyone

    Hello, Cupcake! showcases a collection of brilliant cupcake designs, and shows how to make them as well. With this app, even if you don't know how to make toast, you'll want to decorate cupcakes.

    The app contains a selection of digitally enhanced projects from the series of best-selling books by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. It's a treasure trove of cupcake ideas!

  • Eye-popping animation

    Each cupcake project features a charming animation short, like the one with a polar bear catching his dinner with—what else?—a fishing rod made from yellow licorice lace and a Pocky stick, of course.

  • Art and craft in frosting

    Each project contains detailed written and photographed steps accompanied by helpful voiceovers—so you can't go wrong.

  • In-depth how-to

    Never dipped a cupcake? Not to worry. A detailed technique video shows you just how to do it—and there are technique videos for many other cupcake-enhancing tricks as well.

  • Candy, color, and more

    Photos that spotlight individual ingredients, along with a sources list, will help you locate exactly what you need to create these designs. And the great news is that none of these items is hard to find.

  • Add to your collection

    Whether you're a cupcake craftsman or simply an admirer of imaginative cupcakes for the art of it, the Hello, Cupcake! app will keep you entertained—and make you hungry for more. Fortunately, additional cupcake tins are available for sale within the app.
