Cupcake #142 **sold**

Good morning everyone! Cupcake #142 is is piled high with fudge icing, whipped cream, and topped with a fresh raspberry. The background is a shimmery hummingbird red, a combination of fuchsia and coral that practically glows.

After 142 back to back cupcakes, we need to take a short "Spring Break." No panic, we will be back one week from today, and Scott has promised to do double duty for a week. So hang in there, and next week you'll be getting double barrel cupcakes. I'll send out an email to all on our email list to remind you that we're back! **Phew** I feel better already!

Cupcake #137 **sold**

There is just something magical about the combination of fudge and banana, top it with whipped cream and you are one step closer to heaven. This mouth watering confection is sitting on a cheery yellow polka dot background. Can you see the pale wash of purple grey Scott used to give the banana slices a little texture around the edges? That touch of yellow's compliment gives them a little more life than plain grey. Enjoy, and we'll see you tomorrow!

Cupcake #119 **sold**

Oh, chocolate, deep fudgey chocolate. You can tell the icing has to be thick and dense when it holds a sharp edge like this, and Scott has caught every highlight and shadow, taking your eye on a little journey through the swirls. All that surrounded by a beautiful canary singing at the top of his voice kind of yellow...with polka dots no less! Yellow is one of the few colors that has very little wiggle room, a bit too far in this direction and it looks green, and go the other way and it's orange. In fact, although I call the background here yellow, Scott has decided it is orange, we'll leave it for you to decide!

Cupcake #97 **sold**

Everything is better with a cherry on top! Even chocolate, and you can hardly get better than chocolate! Brown is one of those delicious neutral colors that almost anything goes with, which is why you see it so easily paired with everything from robin egg blue, to celery green, or in this case, magenta! The background, a pale cream, just stays out of the way to let these two colors play! Have a great day, and eat chocolate!

Cupcake #95 **sold**

You just can't go wrong with chocolate. I love how Scott captured the edges in the thick fudge icing, you can almost taste it! It sits in purple cup that leans towards the magenta side of the spectrum, and is surrounded by a creamy neutral color that is almost, but not quite yellow. This little piece stands alone beautifully, but would also play well in a group. I'll be posting tomorrow's cupcake early, as I'll be on an airplane around noon, but then we should be back on schedule for the rest of the week! Enjoy!
