From the sparkles on the cupcakes to the jars of Love Hearts on the dresser, from the postcards on the mirror to the pink Roberts radio, it just makes you smile.

Somehow it evokes the Kings Road boutiques of the Seventies, open-top cars cruising in the sunshine, teenage trysts in milk bars, and glitter balls in discos. Now you can bring the sparkle into your home, as Love Bakery captures the sense of fun that has made a community take a shop to its heart.

Sam Blears encourages you to let your imagination run riot, and to use her mood-boards, just-in-case cupboard, and glittering decorations to create your own versions of her much-loved cakes.

You will discover recipes for cupcakes, love pops, love shots, cuptails, and whoopie pies; fabulous hidden flavours such as the Peruvian Bear Cupcake's secret marmalade centre; plus fantastic ideas and templates for coordinating party themes and gift-wrapping.

Take the fear out of baking, replace it with fun and glitter, and you'll find there's nothing as delicious as a cupcake baked from the heart.
