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 #360 **sold**

A cool crisp blue surrounds this elegant white cupcake. The topping is thin crinkled layers of fondant, probably a miraculous achievement in the world of baking! The cool blues and white combined with that layer of minty green somehow remind me of toothpaste, an odd connection for sure. But the idea of a collection of these cupcakes in a dentist's office always makes me grin!

Now as we move towards the final 5 cupcakes we have some announcements to make. We are heading off to a show in Boca Raton, FL this weekend, so this is the last cupcake we will post this week. We will start again on Tuesday with #361 and post one each day with the last one going up on Saturday at as close to noon(EST) as I can muster. We've had a few requests to pre-purchase the last cupcake, but we are going to have to refrain from any favoritism and rely on the first come first serve method once I post. Good luck, and come back on Tuesday!

Cupcake #352 **sold**

Cupcake #352 is loaded with subtlety. Thin washes of yellow, and it's complement, purple, dance across the surface of the icing showing off the lights and shadows. The gray background is very neutral, allowing these nuances to shine. 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 #342

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

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 #327 **sold**

I think we should call this the denial cupcake, here we are in the cold, buried in ho ho ho and all that holiday spirit. And here comes Scott down the studio stairs with this super citrus cupcake. Florida colors abound! Enjoy the complementary colors, there are two pairs here, then close your eyes and think of warm sand and pink flamingos!

Cupcake #321 **sold**

This snowman cupcake is so darned charming with his little pretzel stick arms! Sitting on a snowy blue background, this would be a great gift for anyone on your list. Ho Ho Ho!

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 #304

A deep chocolate cupcake piled high with milk chocolate frosting and drizzled with strawberry sauce. Yum! Resting on a pale blue grey background, this is sure to appeal to the chocoholic in your life! I can just imagine this on a chocolate brown wall, simply stunning.

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 #287

Scott came down the studio stairs with this cupcake and said..."Behold, a cabbage cupcake!" I'm not sure about the marketability of a cabbage cupcake. But if you imagine the beautiful variegated green leaves tasted like mint, or pistachio, we may have a winner. I love the tall ruffly leaf shapes, a very sophisticated cupcake, enjoy!

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 #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 #261

You can tell fall is in the air, even the cupcakes seem to be changing colors! Creamy butterscotch icing tops this sweet chocolate number. You can see the deep orange background reflected back in the frosting. It will be interesting to see if the change of seasons brings about more gold, pumpkin, and deep burgundy to Scott's palette. Stay tuned!

Cupcake #259 **sold**

In celebration of the beginning of football season Scott presents this cupcake! A vanilla cupcake with green icing (mint, pistachio?) rolled in green coconut, and topped with a miniature football. Scott said he is willing to do these on a commission basis of your favorite team. Just let us know. In the meantime this red background should please both the local boys, The Jackson Red Devils, and University of Georgia fans! Enjoy the game! Oh and looks like we may be taking Labor Day off, so we'll see you on Tuesday!

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!

Cupcake #239 **sold**

Mmmm, chocolate & coconut topped with a happy bumblebee. Why do I think he's happy? Wouldn't you be if you were sitting in chocolate!? The background is a bright sunny yellow with some very subtle polka dots. The model for today's painting came from the Atlanta Cupcake factory, our favorite stop! This little bee would bring a little sunshine to any kitchen, enjoy!

Cupcake #234 **sold**

A new version of the carrot cake cupcake, the only cupcake that falls into the vegetable category! The palette on this piece is a version of a secondary triad. That being the three secondary colors, orange, green, and purple. The secondary colors are made by mixing two primaries. But enough with the color theory. The "carrot" on top is a piece of curled up candied ginger resting on a bed of whipped cream cheese icing. Heaven.

Cupcake #226

A chocolate cupcake topped with cream and a lovely fresh piece of sticky natural honeycomb. The golden background mirrors the color of warm honey. Simple, sweet, and beautiful. Enjoy!
