Cupcakes on Book Covers: Everyone is Beautiful by Katherine Center

I was just saying to someone today that cupcakes find me. I'll be going about my business, walking down the street or at the movies or, in this case, on Amazon.com, and boom! - there's a cupcake. Sometimes, because I'm a big book nerd, I go on Amazon and look up authors whose books I've enjoyed to see when the next one is coming out.

One book I was really wowed by was Katherine Center's novel The Bright Side of Disaster, about a woman whose loser fiancee leaves her when she's super pregnant. She has the baby on her own, learns how to fend for herself, befriends her sexy and sweet and good-with-baby neighbor, and then her man shows up again, and she has to figure out what to do.

So I looked her up and lo and behold, guess what's on the cover of her next novel, Everyone is Beautiful? Yes, it's a cupcake! I'm so intrigued and curious about all the cupcakes on book covers lately, and intend to interview the art directors behind these photos to find out what appeals to them and their marketing departments about our favorite dessert.

Hooray! It's so fun to see the cover for Everyone Is Beautiful on your adorable site! And I'm so glad to hear that you liked The Bright Side of Disaster! Everyone Is Beautiful has a very similar voice and sense of humor. It comes out in February 2009, and I'm just finishing up a 3rd novel, which will come out the next year. Thanks so much for posting about my books! So great to find you guys!

I have a book called, "I was a really good mom,before I had kids" and it has a cupcake on the cover. You should check that one out.It's written by Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile. It says design was done by bonnie berry but I don't know if that's for the cover or what?There's no other pics so I would asume,but you never know! By the way, it's a good book for mom's as well!
