Cupcake diaries

When Mia arrives at her new school, her goal is to be open to and friendly with everyone, but everyone at Park Street School fits into a clique. When the Popular Girls Club takes an interest in Mia's awesome fashion style and wants to recruit her, Mia must decide between them and her great new Cupcake Club friends. It's like choosing between her divorced mom and dad and her old house and new house. Is it always going to be Mia in the middle, or can...

Alexis Becker deals with her crush on her friend Emma Taylor's brother Matt and supplying the desserts for her sister Dylan's sweet sixteen party.

Mia is still getting used to having her new stepdad and stepbrother around when she begins to struggle with writing in her Spanish class, and since her family, who speaks Spanish, is willing to help, Mia learns that she is lucky to have three parents.

Alexis Becker, who handles the financial and organizational side of the Cupcake Club, decides to take a break from her responsibilities and really wants to ask Matt to be her date to the pep rally parade.

Mia struggles to be nice to the new girl, Olivia Allen, after she makes pains to be nice and loans her some money only to discover that Olivia spends it to buy the exact same shoes for which Mia has been saving.

When Olivia, the new girl at school, says something nasty to Alexis in the hallway and has all the girls in the Best Friends Club teasing her, Alexis starts to wonder if Olivia misunderstood something she said.

Mia worries that she will no longer be as cute as a cupcake when she finds out that she not only needs braces, but also glasses.

Alexis feels like a third wheel in her cupcake baking group while her bestfriend Emma is away.

Mia, who dreams of working in fashion someday, joins the fashion club at school, but wonders if she can manage being in two clubs at the same time or if she will have to choose between the Cupcake Club and the new fashion club.

Hired with the Cupcake Club to serve a huge order at a neighbor's outdoor party, Alex, knowing that her crush will be in attendance, struggles to find just the right outfit when she discovers that she has reached an in-between size.

"When Mia reads about a Design-a-Dress contest in a magazine for "budding designers ages 12-16" she is excited. But she doesn't realize how much work designing--and sewing--a dress truly is until she starts on her contest entry. While Mia stresses out about all the work she has to do, she and Katie have an argument about, of all things, fashion preferences!"--Provided by publisher.

Alexis gives her crush, Emma's older brother Matt, a special valentine's cupcake and hopes he will give her a valentine too.

"Mia is having a terrible day! Everything is going wrong. She woke up late and couldn't make her hair look perfect or brush her teeth, she probably failed a pop quiz, and she broke her glasses! But when her mom's cousin Laura arrives from Puerto Rico, she gives Mia a bracelet with a lucky charm. All of a sudden, Mia's luck changes for the better. Mia's thrilled--she'll never have a bad day again--or will she?"--Jacket flap.

When Alexis decides she wants to be more like her popular older sister, Dylan, she tries out for cheerleading, without really thinking about what that entails, including that her sister was a star on her cheerleading squad.

"Things are slow at the cupcake shop this summer, and so when Mia's dad invites her on a long weekend trip to meet some of his college friends, she jumps at the chance, especially when she hears they have daughters her age. It turns out the girls work in an ice cream shop. Not only does Mia end up making new friends; she comes back with a new invention for the Cupcake Girls: an ice-cream cone cupcake"-- Provided by publisher.
