Cupcake #365 **sold**


HOLY CUPCAKE! How did this happen folks? We have come to the end of 365 cupcakes! We thank you so much for all your support, we could have never done it without our collectors near and far!
There has been a lot of anticipation over this final cupcake, and we've decided we simply have to let the best (or fastest) collector win. The first person to send me an email to kallencole@aol.com will be the proud owner of the final cupcake. But as a consolation prize to those who aren't first, Scott is willing to do a repeat version of this upside down cupcake for anyone who may want one.
Please continue to follow The Daily Cupcake for a few weeks, this is where we'll post Scott's new series...coming soon!
Thanks again, and keep in touch, we'll miss you all!

Cupcake #361 **sold**



I love this cupcake! Especially the way the light reflects off the deep chocolate icing, not to mention the little crinkle in the cup. Surrounded by a bright spring green background. Simply beautiful! 4 more to go!

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 #358 **sold**


Today's cupcake, in addition to being the perfect gift to tuck away for Valentine's day is also a nice use of primary colors. The red raspberry, blue blueberries and yellow custard are surrounded by otherwise neutral colors. And the liner covered with a scattering of hearts is pretty cool too! 7 more cupcakes to go!

Cupcake #348 **sold**


Layers of chocolate and cream are topped with a fresh raspberry. Surrounded by a background that would have once been called "dusty rose." A warm, slightly neutralized pink, it makes the chocolate sing, and the white of the cream pop! Enjoy, only 17 more to go!

Cupcake #335 **sold**


I don't know about you, but I'm kinda worried about the old guy... Spice cake, topped with a generous scoop of cream, and what's left of St. Nick. The background is a chilly snowy blue. Only one more cupcake before Christmas, have you been naughty or nice?

Cupcake #334 **sold**


The raspberry fruitcake cupcake, (try saying that three times fast!) Flecks of nuts, berries, (and all that mystery stuff that makes fruitcake), glimmer through in today's cupcake. Topped with cream and a fresh raspberry. The background is a neutral chocolate brown, making this go with just about anything, including yesterday's cupcake, what a great pair!

Cupcake #332


Christmas colored sprinkles top this triple layered cupcake. Are these three layers of frosting even possible? Probably not in real life, but anything is possible here, just call it one of the wonders of the Christmas season! Enjoy!

Cupcake #311 **sold**


There is something about the combination of violet and green that really appeals to me. They are all analogous colors as green, blue, and violet are all neighbors on the color wheel. The green has been neutralised with red to allow the purple to sing, and sing it does! Have a great day!

Cupcake #299 **sold**


A few weeks ago the Atlanta Cupcake Factory received a call to design some cupcakes for a staff meeting at TBS. The Conan team was coming to town, and wanted some cupcakes to celebrate! This was the fabulous Conan cupcake they came up with, we've put it on a red carpet background. Tonight is the first episode of the new show, and this would be a perfect gift for your favorite Conan O'Brian fan! Enjoy!

Cupcake #297 **sold**


What a crazy beautiful cupcake! Folks often assume I spend most of my waking hours in the kitchen baking all these wonderful cupcakes for Scott to paint. I hate to break it to you, but I haven't baked a single one! Many of them are purchased at our favorite cupcake haunts, and some of them simply come out of Scott's imagination. Like this one! I have no idea what kind of icing could be so bright and glossy, yet not run off the cupcake. But Scott doesn't have to worry about what's possible in the real world! Have a great day!

Cupcake #290


Cupcake #290, do you know what that means? Only 75 more cupcakes to go! But, back to the present, today's chocolate raspberry truffle cupcake is sitting pretty on a warm brick red background. Although they look like very different colors, the raspberry red, and the background sit very close to each other on the color wheel. One leans closer to the cool side of red, and the other a warm red leaning to the orange side. Did you know there was a such a thing as a cool red? Enjoy!

Cupcake #289 **sold**



Mmmm, chocolate and strawberry is about as good as it gets! And chocolate brown is a very popular neutral color. It has been the mainstay, as the accent color seen with it has changed from robin egg blue, through lime green, and now pink. I'm sure there is a new hot color to go with brown on the horizon, but I haven't picked up on it yet! Now, you must know someone very special with a birthday coming up!

Cupcake #281 **sold**



Soft, neutral, understated color is the story of this cupcake. Whites, cream, a little warm beige...but look a little closer. Do you see the subtle speckles of almost violet, or the pale wash of yellow, and the luminous red reflecting in the shadow side of the marshmallow? The more you look, the more you see. The background was kept especially neutral, the color of bleached seashells, just to allow the cupcake to shine. But don't let the color fool you, this little number came from the Atlanta Cupcake Factory, and was pure mouthwatering bliss. The cake itself is pumpkin, the icing had a touch of caramel I think, and the top? A toasted mini marshmallow. A wonderful taste of autumn, enjoy!

Cupcake #275 **sold**


Pink and purple! When asked my favorite color as a child, I can remember that was the answer, spoken with total conviction. Magenta stars top this yummy chocolate cupcake, and reverse "stars" dot the background. A sweet surprise for the "superstar" in your life.

This cupcake is so blue you can practically hear B.B. King in the background. The chocolate brown/turquoise combo is a favorite of mine and the robin egg blue just makes it sing. Enjoy this little bit of blue, and we'll be back tomorrow.

Cupcake #263 **sold**


A cupcake for your favorite sleepyhead! A moon and stars top this vanilla cupcake , hopefully bringing sweet dreams to all. Two of the primaries, yellow and blue, are the dominant colors in this piece, even the cake itself is simply a neutral version of yellow. Perfect for a nursery, a conversation piece, or a gift for the star in your life. Goodnight cupcake!

A pale lemon yellow cupcake sits in a fancy paper cup. Accented by a circle of whipped cream, and resting on a baby blue background, this sweet thing is sure to make someone smile. Enjoy!

Cupcake #246 **sold**



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!
