The cupcake is America’s darling. It’s celebrated in upscale bakeries, on Sex in the City, on the cover of Gourmet, and in thou-sands of classrooms—where every day, it seems, a parent has sent in a batch for the kids to share. The very word conjures up whimsy, coziness, pleasure, nostalgia. Not to mention the fact that their diminutive size means you can eat a lot of them. Once upon a time, a family had only two recipes for cupcakes—chocolate and vanilla. Not anymore. Now Anne Byrn brings them to the next level. And who better? Recognized as the master of cake-mix baking, Anne is the author of The Cake Mix Doctor and Chocolate from the Cake Mix Doctor, which have a total of over 1.8 million copies in print. In Cupcakes she offers 135 tempting recipes for children and grown-ups, for special days and everyday, lunch bags, holiday festivities, and an unexpected dinner party dessert. You’ll never believe these artful little cakes started with a mix. Coconut Snowballs, Jelly Doughnut Cupcakes, Kiss Me Cakes, Warm Chocolate Cupcakes with Molten Centers, Red Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting. There are surprising additions (tuck a chocolate kiss orpiece of cookie dough into the batter). Creative toppings and easy from-scratch frostings (whipped cream spiked with Kahlua; miniature M&Ms; a creamy malted frosting with crushed malted milk balls).Terrific decorating ideas, from glittering golden dragees or elegant chocolate curls to yellow peeps for an Easter cupcake or—for Groundhog’s Day—a groundhog’s face made out of chocolate frosting and jimmies.

I pray this book of God's Heaven's Treasure Within blesses your socks off the way it has done for me as I wrote the Words from God's treasures of wisdom. It's designed to give healing to the broken hearts of this world and to save us by grace. No matter what occurs around your surroundings, at this very moment, I recommend Jesus for all of your shortcomings. He has all the answers to your unanswered questions. He's waiting on you to come to him on bended knees with thanksgiving. He has answers for his children through their power of praises and their faithful prayers. His love is sufficient for you and me today. Today, let Jesus loves you the way the sunshine shines upon the lilies of the fields. God's love for us is an unconditional love; no height or depth can separate his marvelous loving arms from reaching deep down in our inner spirit to give us hope for tomorrow. David danced before God with all his might, and God was delighted of David's praises. David became the apple of God's eyes, and there, we need to be pleasing in the eyes of our Lord: May this book richly bless you and your family on a journey of God's divine love of inspirational poems!
