A deep chocolate on deeper blue. Subtle, elegant, you know you want it!

Cupcake #328 **sold**

I think one of the best things about a cupcake is that the icing to cake ratio is much higher than regular cake! And this is a perfect example, a great scoop of chocolate icing rolled in chocolate sprinkles. Another dab of icing is used to glue the cherry on top! The background, a bright spring green makes the cupcake pop! Enjoy!

Apricots, pine nuts, and honey. No kidding, that's what is drizzled all over this cupcake. As they say down here, "It'll make you want to slap your Mama." Surrounded by a deep plum background to make the colors in the cupcake shine. Simple and luscious, enjoy!

A soft sage green surrounds this crunchy nutty chocolate cupcake. A swirl of icing lightly dusted with cocoa is the crowning glory. Don't you have a little corner in your living room that this would bring a smile to? Do I need to start counting shopping days until Christmas?!

Cupcake #298 **sold**

Brrrr, there wasn't any frost on the pumpkin this morning, but it was awfully close! This yummy pumpkin cupcake starts with a spice cake. Topped with thick pumpkin cream cheese frosting and a scattering of coconut. All sitting on an olive green background. Warm colors and warm thoughts for a happy autumn!

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 #269 **sold**

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 #248 **sold**

Cupcake #248 is not shy, in fact if we wanted to try to "personify" this cupcake a little more, one could say she has a fit of the giggles. A swirl of mint green tops a thick chocolate glaze, surrounded by a bubbly fuchsia background . Red and green are complementary colors, and although this fuchsia is a little more on the blue side, it still makes this green pop. Sweet!

Cupcake #217 **sold**

A simple strawberry cupcake. The soft pink icing is surrounded by a neutral taupe background. Topped with a single fresh strawberry, this is sure to delight. Enjoy!

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 #179 **sold**

This was one of those cupcakes that really made my eyes light up as it came down the studio stairs. I love many little things about this from how the top of the cake looks just slightly crisp, to the layers of piped icing, to the pale, pale pink sprinkles. The background was painted a super neutral slate grey so that the delicate color of the pinks wouldn't be overpowered and could shine through. It's a beauty!
