After the interest in last year's series of intercepted letters from famous cooks to Santa the massive secret organisation that is The Austerity Cook (think underwater HQ, mini-sub on our nuclear powered yacht, not knowing Kerry Katona) has been able to obtain previews of Christmas books accepted and otherwise by some of the same star names, though with plenty more besides, to be released to the world drip by drip up to the big day.
Watch this space. Now that one. This one again.
The first, as the publisher's blurb makes clear, is not in any way an attempt to jump on a culinary band wagon. So Stephen Hawking's Big Book of Cup Cakes is apparently something the renowned physicist has been working on for years. Cup cakes in part explain the nature of the universe, interest in them constantly expanding for no comprehensible reason. The analogy is closer too as nobody in this universe has ever actually enjoyed eating a cupcake, thus proving the existence of alternative universes from which the cakes clearly arrive, that version of reality including people who have managed to find some flavour in one of the foul over-decorated things. The Cupcake Theory of Time chapter demonstrates that time is both circular - the cakes return however many the deluded buy - and with a sticky out bit made of orange peel, though nobody has read that far into the book to understand how this can be.
Reviews of the work include Professor Brian Cox's, who said it was: 'Amayyyzing.' And Stephen's friend Homer Simpson added: 'Mmmm, expanding cupcakes.'
