Cupcake #341 **sold**


Well here we are, starting off the New Year with lots of fresh fruit, vitamin C, antioxidants and all that stuff! Not to mention a splash of complementary colors in the form of orange and blue. Now close your eyes and imagine the orange and cream cheese frosting, and those little bits of candied orange peel, yum!

Cupcake #307 **sold**


You just have to take a look out your window to understand the inspiration for this cupcake. Great billowing clouds of bright golden yellow contrasting with deep burnt reds, soft beige, and flecks of fiery orange surround our house right now, simply stunning. Now close your eyes and think of the flavor of pumpkin pie. A big story, for one little cupcake, enjoy!

This simple creamy yellow cupcake just glows sitting on a dark background. You'll find surfing through past cupcakes that the backgrounds rarely get beyond mid range in the value scale. But the deep raisin brown works as a nice contrast to the pale colors of the subject. And the brown would make this little number pair up nicely with a dark chocolate cupcake! Enjoy!

As autumn approaches even the deepest south, it is time to roll out the warm colors of fall. A criss cross drizzle of caramel on the thick cream cheese icing is a beautiful, yet simple decoration. The cinnamon, or warm brick red background surrounds the foreground, pushing the yellows a bit, making them glow. Caramel apples by the fire anyone?

Today's cupcake has all the makings of cupcake bliss. Red velvet cake on the bottom, (it's a southern thing,) thick cream cheese icing, topped with a plump pecan and a scattering of chocolate curls. All surrounded by a pure clean blue background that makes the pale yellows and browns in this piece shine. Enjoy!

A new version of the carrot cake cupcake, the only cupcake that falls into the vegetable category! The palette on this piece is a version of a secondary triad. That being the three secondary colors, orange, green, and purple. The secondary colors are made by mixing two primaries. But enough with the color theory. The "carrot" on top is a piece of curled up candied ginger resting on a bed of whipped cream cheese icing. Heaven.

Mounds of rich cream cheese icing top this cherry cupcake. All dressed up in a fancy pink paper cup, and topped with a fresh cherry, you just know it's going to be good! The bright red background leans just a bit towards the orange side just to show off the pretty shades of pink in the cherry. If you have a bit of red in your kitchen, this one is certainly for you, or powder room, or office...you get the idea! Have a great day!

Cupcake #148 **sold**


Neutral brown and blue jean blue have always been a favorite color combination of mine. This yummy little cupcake is topped with rich cream cheese icing and pecans. This is one of the few cupcakes that would fit right in a little boy's room! Who says cowboys don't like cupcakes! Cheers!
