Cupcake # 62 **sold**

Oh how festive! My favorite thing about this painting is how Scott painted those little gold balls. I'm sure they have a proper name in the cake decorating world, as a child I thought they were pure magic! The background was painted a toned down gold color to make the bright gold spots really pop. That goes back to the color theory question about how to change a color, with "change the color around it," being the final answer. If the background was painted a bright yellow, the significance of the gold balls would be diminished as they would blend into the background. Go on, add a little sparkle to your walls!

Hmmm, a little bit of crushed peppermint, a crazy pile of just barely pink minty icing. All on a warm burgundy background. Hate to tell you this folks, but this little cupcake, sweet 39, is here to let you know there are only 30 more cupcakes before Christmas! You can run, but you can't hide! Seriously though, do you know a fan of the daily cupcake who would be thrilled to find one of these little beauties under their tree? Perfect for the chef in your life, the cookie lady at church, a great place to start a young persons art collection. And from now, through Christmas, we will gift wrap, write a message on a gift tag, and send it to the giftie receiver of your choice for an additional $5. All you have to do is ask! And remember, it's not nice to shoot the messenger!
