Kiersten | 13 comments This was a children's picture book I read probably around 2003-2008 about a bunch of animals (they look sort of like javelinas (bristly wild pigs) in my memory) working together to make either muffins or cupcakes. Their baking was extremely messy and as the story went on more and more characters joined in and it got even messier. They also put weird things into their muffins/cupcakes, including pickles. There were recipes at the end of the book to make for yourself.

Kiersten | 13 comments Nope, not it. But it's remarkably similar!

Kym | 1056 comments Are you sure its not Wild Boars Cook? - Adele's suggestion.

One review - Filled with fun illustrations and plenty of appropriately rude onomatopoeia, the boars go whole hog when it comes to eating. From hot dogs to pizzas to pickles to boots.

There is also mention of a Cookie recipe included.

In the book I'm thinking of, the entire book was spent on baking one item.

Kym | 1056 comments Sorry, I was looking at the goodreads reviews. It does sound like they are making only one pudding (dessert).

Just in case, click on the book Adele linked to and scroll through the reviews.

Good luck :)
