Cupcake #245 **sold**

The model for today's cupcake was made by Rosemary at the Atlanta Cupcake Factory! A sweet sugar bird nests in a swirl of peachy icing dotted with a rainbow of sprinkles. The background color, a soft celery green was chosen to "keep it in the family." The color family that is! Orange (which becomes peach with a little white) sits next to yellow on the color wheel, and yellow sits next to green. So by choosing a group of neighbors on the color wheel, you come up with a cohesive composition. Big words for a little cupcake! And yes, it was very, very good!

Have I ever mentioned how soft hearted my husband is? A few weeks ago I started telling him how a couple of cardinals had built a nest in the climbing rose on our front porch. He didn't pay much attention, until I told him we had a baby bird. When I pointed out the nest and baby he started watching, checking every couple of hours on the progress of the wee one. Well he came in yesterday pleased as punch that Mama and Daddy had taught the little one to fly, and he witnessed the first flight! So this coconut cupcake is in honor of our cardinal family, they have left the nest, but can still be heard chirping in our woods!
