Cupcake #288 **sold**

I think the layered cupcake is very clever, just slice a bit off the top, and fill. This one is filled with a ice cream scoop of fluffy white frosting. A drizzle of chocolate glaze and a cherry on top, who could resist!? The background, if you were sorting through the biggest box of crayons, would be called chartreuse. A bright yellow green, neutralized with just a touch of red.

Cupcake #191 **sold**

How we got to cupcake #191 without doing a simple chocolate cupcake with sprinkles is amazing to me! We've had everything from peanut butter and jelly to mango, it just shows the possibilities are pretty much endless! The super dark chocolate is dotted with a rainbow of color, and the background is a pretty chartreuse green that matches my fiestaware perfectly, so don't fiddle for long, or it will be hanging in my kitchen! Cheers!

Cupcake #151 **sold**

Chocolate, pecans, whipped cream, sounds like heaven to me! This cupcake, piled high with goodies, is surrounded by an intense chartreuse green. No wallflower here, this little baby will be noticed! Enjoy, and keep checking back this week, the new yummies coming down the studio stairs are looking great!

Cupcake #130 **sold**

What a sharp little cupcake! Pale green, chartreuse maybe, dotted with white and turquoise sprinkles. All surrounded by a pale steel blue, this makes for an elegant, modern color scheme. A row of tiny pale dots near the top adds to the ultra modern look. And if you've been paying attention you'll know that pale blue and green are analogous colors sitting next to each other on the color wheel. And, since the blue is tinted lighter than the green... you have an analogous discord color theory fans! Cheers!

Cupcake #86 **sold**

You just can't go wrong with double chocolate, especially when you finish it of with curls of chocolate bark! The green of the paper cup is echoed in the background which just seems to vibrate in anticipation. This one just doesn't require much in the way of words, it's a beauty! Cheers!

Cupcake #50 **sold**

Such a grown up cupcake, subtle, yet not simple. The colors are marvelous, chartreuse and taupe. One of the color theory lessons that I remember clearly from school was the question, "can you name 5 ways to change a color?" The answers were to add white (a tint) add black (a shade) add it's complement (to neutralize) add an analogous color which shifts the color entirely. But the tricky answer was "change the color around it." This is a great example of how the surrounding color affects the green, a deep neutral was chosen which allows the green to sing!

And for those who are really paying attention, there will be a perfect match to this one coming up in a couple of days! You'd think there would be a little more fanfare and horn blowing for the 50th cupcake! But this is the first of many milestones, so keep on checking in, and tell a friend!
