New York Times bestselling co-author of Soul Surfer, Sheryl Berk is the founding editor-in-chief of Life & Style Weekly as well as a contributor to InStyle, Martha Stewart, and other publications. Her nine-year-old daughter, Carrie, a cupcake connoisseur, cooked up the idea for the Cupcake Club series in second grade. Together, they have invented dozens of crazy cupcake recipes in their NYC kitchen (can you say Purple Velvet?) and have the frosting stains on the ceiling to prove it. Carrie maintains her own cupcake blog, featuring reviews, photos, and recipes of her culinary adventures.
