Cupcake #305 **sold**

More autumn colors coming out of the studio. This maple pecan cupcake is sitting on a deep burgundy background. Burgundy is essentially a neutralised shade of red. Begin with a bright stop sign red, add a bit of purple, and a touch of black. The trick to mixing colors well is to mix them often, and of course keep track of what works and what doesn't. Have a great fall day.

Cupcake #218

Today's cupcake is covered in crushed pecans and bits of caramel, then smothered in whipped cream. It can hardly get any better than that! The sunny yellow background just makes me smile. I can see this sitting on the window sill in a little country kitchen. You know these don't have to be hung on the wall, they sit up just fine on their own. Put a string of them in a window, or along a mantle. No matter where they are, they'll get noticed!

Cupcake #205

This little cupcake is topped with a pool of maple syrup and a pecan. Surrounded by a blue that is best described as faded blue jeans. I've always liked the combination of warm brown and blue. Scott is about to hustle back out to the studio to start on tomorrow's cupcake, we may get back on schedule yet!
