Cupcake #359 **sold**


A shot of pure warm color to get you on your feet! The deep pure red of the strawberries is surrounded by it's neighbor on the color wheel, orange. But don't miss all the subtle color in the cream, blues, a hint of red reflecting... Enjoy!

Cupcake #351 **sold**



A cupcake just like Grandma would have made. None of those fancy icing thingamajigs, all you need is a big bowl of chocolate icing, and a butter knife. The background is a beautiful royal purple, deep dark and delicious!

Cupcake #338 **sold**


What a delightful cupcake! Caramel is drizzled across the top then pulled into a delicate feather design. All this on top of another layer of caramel and cream. The deep teal background shows off all the warm tones in the caramel. Have a great day!

Cupcake #325 **sold**



Happy holidays! Red and green maraschino cherries nestled in a pool of chocolate should get anyone in the holiday spirit! Surrounded by a brilliant red background, the chocolate, cream, and cherries practically sing, enjoy!

Cupcake #318


The first thing that I thought about when I saw this cupcake was how it held all the colors of a sunset! Yellows, and oranges even that dusky purple that happens right at the end. That, and the fact that the icing is piled so high there is no way to eat it without icing getting on your nose! Always a good thing! Enjoy!

Cupcake #313


Luscious lemon, piled high and sprinkled with a bit of pink sugar. Sitting on a pale blue background. The use of pink yellow and blue makes this a primary triad, as the colors are all tints of the three primary colors. Using a triad, being three colors that are equal distance from each other on the color wheel gives this piece a good sense of balance. It works with purple, orange, and green too, try it!

Cupcake #278 **sold**


Yay! We're back, sorry for leaving you cupcake-less for so long!
#278 is a snow white cupcake scattered in chocolate chunks. Topped with not one but two green maraschino cherries, to match the green paper cup. I'd like to know what was going on in the head of whoever decided bleaching the color out of cherries and dying them green was a cool thing to do! The warm sunset background surrounds the cupcake, making the chocolate seem a little warmer, and the green just a little more outrageous!

Cupcake #272 **sold**


A sweet blueberry cupcake. The frosting on this cupcake is right at the brink of purple. So close to pink, but the slightest bit of blue in it brings it back to the purple or violet end of the spectrum. Green, blue and purple all sit next to each other on the color wheel, but in this case the green is so close to yellow, and the purple so close to pink, that they hardly seem to be related at all. But together, they sing. This one won't match your sofa, but be the brave collector, if it makes you smile!

Cupcake #249 **sold**


Cupcake #249 is a classic. Pink icing, pink sugar sprinkles, simple, sweet, perfect. The cake itself is chocolate. The background, a soft neutral off white, that lets the subject shine. Enjoy!

Cupcake #220 **sold**


This is such a beautiful, formal cupcake. Can't you just see a tray of these at a black tie gathering? A mound of sinfully rich chocolate icing topped with shaved coconut and a maraschino cherry. I love how symmetrical this is with the two bands of white breaking up the composition. Perfect!

Cupcake #212 **sold**


Ah, a sweet lemon cupcake! Topped with fresh blueberries, the lemon lime color is surrounded by a pale orange sorbet, or perhaps cantaloupe color. A delightful little piece to brighten up a room. Cheers!

Cupcake #206 **sold**


Today's butter cream cupcake is dotted with sprinkles of every variety. I'm not sure if they are worth eating, but I can imagine a child picking them off and rearranging them to build a scene of their own. The background is a poppy red also covered in sprinkles. Enjoy your day!

Cupcake #195 **sold**


We're back with a caramel cherry cupcake. I just love the way the light shines off the caramel and cherries! Surrounded by a soft baby pink, this may be the sweetest shower gift ever! Or even better, hanging in a retro pink kitchen! The possibilities are endless. You'll know if you have the right spot for this, either alone, with a mate, or piled together in a group. Cheers!

Cupcake #188 **sold**


Now this has to be pure bliss, the peanut butter and jelly cupcake. There are many little things I love about this cupcake, starting with how the light reflects off the cake itself. The light shining through the jelly, and how Scott portrayed the texture of the peanut butter is lovely. All surrounded by a pea green that shows off the warm tones of the cupcake. So grown up, yet so reminiscent of kindergarten at the same time!

Cupcake #186 **sold**


Today's little chocolate bomb is sprinkled with sugar crystals and topped with candied violets, (or pansies?) The icing has formed a shiny shell on the outside, keeping it rich and gooey on the inside! The background is a mustard yellow to complement the purple in the flowers. The neutral earthy tones of this piece will make it work in the even the most traditional color scheme.

Cupcake #184 **sold**


A cool slate blue grey surrounds today's cupcake, this neutral color helps make the amazing green just pop! Combine that with two layers of chocolate, and I think we have a winner! Enjoy!

Cupcake #183 **sold**


A sweet party cupcake, complete with carousel horses. A scattering of pastel colored sprinkles dot the pale strawberry pink icing. The background is a vibrant peach, perfect for a Georgia girl! This little piece will hang just fine on its own, or the sprinkles give you a rainbow of options to pair it with! Cheers!

Cupcake #177 **sold**


A fresh new carrot cupcake! The "carrots" on top are quite interesting, candied strips of carrot rolled into little cone shapes, with a pinch of the carrot greenery tucked into the ends. I can't imagine having that much time on my hands! A sunny yellow background completes the painting. And it was pure accident that we have it sitting above yesterday's purple, perfect complements! Cheers!

Cupcake #172


Today's cupcake is topped with one of my all time favorites, malt balls! Chocolate brown and sky blue are the dominant colors of this piece. It would hang well with similar colors, turquoise, lime green, or contrasting colors, oranges, and yesterday's fuchsia. Enjoy!

Cupcake #156 **sold**



Today we have a traditional little cupcake, topped with a pretty rose. The green edge on the cup matches the bright green leaves. The background is a soft neutralized mauve. This may be a good time to remind you that Mother's Day is coming! Have a great day, and we'll see you on Monday!
