Cupcake #361 **sold**

I love this cupcake! Especially the way the light reflects off the deep chocolate icing, not to mention the little crinkle in the cup. Surrounded by a bright spring green background. Simply beautiful! 4 more to go!

Cupcake #343 **sold**

No matter how dreary the Winter, you can always count on Spring. Three little bluebirds are peeking out of their coconut nest. Perfect for a baby, bird lover, or someone who loves a little shot of robin egg blue! Have a great day!

Cupcake #334 **sold**

The raspberry fruitcake cupcake, (try saying that three times fast!) Flecks of nuts, berries, (and all that mystery stuff that makes fruitcake), glimmer through in today's cupcake. Topped with cream and a fresh raspberry. The background is a neutral chocolate brown, making this go with just about anything, including yesterday's cupcake, what a great pair!

Cupcake #322 **sold**

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!

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 #317 **sold**

A little bit of peppermint to ease us into the holiday season! Surrounded by a sweet pink background, this is almost a monochromatic painting. Monochromatic is when only one hue is used, in this case red, with black and white to allow for all the tints and shades. The sliver of cake showing through is why it's only an "almost." Now who do you think would love to see a cupcake in their stocking? Perhaps you could send a link to The Daily Cupcake to your favorite Santa!

Cupcake #275 **sold**

Pink and purple! When asked my favorite color as a child, I can remember that was the answer, spoken with total conviction. Magenta stars top this yummy chocolate cupcake, and reverse "stars" dot the background. A sweet surprise for the "superstar" in your life.

Cupcake #249 **sold**

Cupcake #249 is a classic. Pink icing, pink sugar sprinkles, simple, sweet, perfect. The cake itself is chocolate. The background, a soft neutral off white, that lets the subject shine. Enjoy!

Cupcake #225 **sold**

Beebop a doo wop, rhubarb pie... or whatever it is Garrison Keillor sings on NPR! This, Scott tells me is a rhubarb cupcake. I've had rhubarb several times in pie, and would love to try this cupcake, Scott, who has never had it, is not so sure! The subtle tones of yellows and pink really shine in this cupcake, but the red background is certainly the dominant color. Have a great day!

Cupcake #216

Today's cupcake was a challenge to my color correcting abilities, and it's still not right. The background of this piece is actually the color of fresh really ripe cantaloupe. But when I get that right the color of the chocolate goes way off, so I guess you'll just have to trust me on this one! I love how the icing gradually gets to be a darker and darker chocolate until it reaches the deep devils food cake. Chocoholics unite!

Cupcake #203 **sold**

This little cupcake has the blues, between the purple blue blackberry icing, and the cool turquoise blue background! Topped with a fresh blackberry, it would be a sweet addition to a cool blue beach house! 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!
