Cupcake #324 **sold**


This sounds perfectly delicious, a sweet potato cupcake, topped with toasted marshmallows and candied pecans. Warm and gooey. The background is a fresh pale green that brings out all the warm oranges and touches of red in the cupcake. What a delight!

Cupcake #317 **sold**



A little bit of peppermint to ease us into the holiday season! Surrounded by a sweet pink background, this is almost a monochromatic painting. Monochromatic is when only one hue is used, in this case red, with black and white to allow for all the tints and shades. The sliver of cake showing through is why it's only an "almost." Now who do you think would love to see a cupcake in their stocking? Perhaps you could send a link to The Daily Cupcake to your favorite Santa!

Cupcake #302 **sold**


A soft sage green surrounds this crunchy nutty chocolate cupcake. A swirl of icing lightly dusted with cocoa is the crowning glory. Don't you have a little corner in your living room that this would bring a smile to? Do I need to start counting shopping days until Christmas?!

I don't know about you, but there are lots of baby girls showing up in our neck of the woods. So here's a little pink for the girlie girls out there. Complete with a dusting of sugar (what else?) and a polka dotted background. You go girls!

Scott came down the studio stairs with this cupcake and said..."Behold, a cabbage cupcake!" I'm not sure about the marketability of a cabbage cupcake. But if you imagine the beautiful variegated green leaves tasted like mint, or pistachio, we may have a winner. I love the tall ruffly leaf shapes, a very sophisticated cupcake, enjoy!

What can I say about a banana cupcake? Bananas are the comedians of fruit, there's the never ending slip on a banana peel, and who hasn't shot someone with a banana "gun?" But this simple banana cupcake, piled with the fruit and cream seems to hardly entice a giggle. Even though it's surrounded by a beautiful banana yellow! So here's a treat for the banana lovers, or even the lovers of bright yellow, have a great day!

Cupcake #280 **sold**


Chocolate, and a deep crushed blackberry purple, two of my favorite things! Little "poofs" of thick chocolate icing pile on top of each other to build this impressive cupcake. The light source comes from the back, pushing the shadow forward. Perfectly yummy! We went out shopping for fresh models yesterday, so the fridge is full of good things to come, stay tuned!

Rooty tooty fresh 'n...you know the rest! Cherries, blueberries, and a slice of mandarin orange sit in a nest of creamy white icing. Surrounded by a peachy background, this is just a bit of cupcake heaven. Remember you can see Scott's cupcakes in person this Saturday in Atlanta. Send me an email if you'd like to attend the show, and I'll send you the details!

The only thing better than a cupcake is a stuffed cupcake! Filled with strawberries and cream and dusted with sugar, this one is a beauty. The pale pink background mirrors the pink highlights in the strawberries. And this one would pair well with yesterday's raspberries on charcoal grey. Perfect for the girlie girl in your life!

Cupcake #263 **sold**


A cupcake for your favorite sleepyhead! A moon and stars top this vanilla cupcake , hopefully bringing sweet dreams to all. Two of the primaries, yellow and blue, are the dominant colors in this piece, even the cake itself is simply a neutral version of yellow. Perfect for a nursery, a conversation piece, or a gift for the star in your life. Goodnight cupcake!

It's hard to imagine this cupcake having the blues, especially when all around is sunny and bright. This blueberry cupcake is resting on a daffodil yellow background. Just a splash of pure color to get your day going, enjoy!

A sweet cherry coconut cupcake on a deep red background. The background was deliberately toned down with a bit of black to make the bright red cherry on top shine through. One of the more interesting rules of color theory is that you can change a color (or your perception of it) by simply changing the color around it. A neutral color around a color will make it pop, and a bright color will make it fade a bit, try this at home!
