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 #301 **sold**

Two bright crisp primary colors make this piece pop! Raspberries nestled in a bed of cream, with a matching red paper cup. All wrapped in a bright yellow background, wishing you nothing but sunshine!

Cupcake #265 **sold**

Oh, what a lovely thing, the raspberry compote cupcake. Topped with a pouf of meringue this made my mouth water just watching Scott bring it down the studio stairs! The slate gray background playing off the deep burgundy colors in the raspberry topping makes for a beautiful sophisticated palette.

Now we have an announcement! This being cupcake #265, means there are only 100 cupcakes left to go in this series. Scott's goal was for one year of cupcakes, that would be 365. So if I have my math right, that leaves 100 cupcakes starting tomorrow. We will speed them up a little around Christmas, but the last cupcake will go up on New Years Eve. Don't let them all pass you by!

Cupcake #235 **sold**

Today's cupcake, surrounded by a neutral olive green, would fit right in to the most conservative office setting. Topped with fresh raspberries and a blackberry nestled in thick cream. This is one to think about if your home is quite traditional, but you are looking for just a little spunk!

The daily cupcake is actually taking a short vacation! We'll be back Monday at noon with a cupcake that is sure to brighten your day. If you want this, or any other cupcake send me an email to the address listed on the left side of the page. Cupcakes are first come, first serve, I'll let you know if you were the first when we return on Monday. Have a great week!

Cupcake #219 **sold**

A bunch of berries forms this cupcake's crown. The soft pink and blues in this piece are merely tints of the color of the berries. A tint being a color with white added. A shade, since we're on the topic, is what you get when you add black to a color. But enough of that, the end result is a sweet piece that would love to make its home in any baby's room, shower gift anyone?

Cupcake #173 **sold**

I've been looking at this cupcake all morning wondering just what it is about the combination of yellow red and white that I like so much. It just hit me...France... this is a traditional french Provencal color palette. Go to the South of France (where Scott and I met 14 years ago) and you'll find tablecloths and napkins, and pottery all decked out in these fabulous colors! But if you can't get there anytime soon, sit back and enjoy this beautiful cupcake!

Cupcake #149 **sold**

Ooh, what a deep delicious moody blue cupcake! Chocolate and raspberries surrounded by an almost pure ultramarine blue. Blue is one of those colors that has an amazing range, from turquoise through teal past this shade where it almost turns purple. And I love the shine on that fudge icing! Have a great day!

Cupcake #146 **sold**

I think this must be a raspberry truffle cupcake. Chocolate cake topped with layers of whipped cream, swirled with more chocolate and raspberry. The background is a soft wheat color, the perfect complement to cupcake #145! Enjoy your day, and we'll be back tomorrow with another double cupcake day!
