I love the contrast between the deep blue and bright green in this piece. The blueberries have that soft dusty color that you see when picked fresh. All sitting in a swirl of vanilla frosting, and dressed up with a matching blue cup. Cheers!
Cupcake #222 is topped with two little strawberry slices. A simply beautiful cupcake, the icing curls around, you can see the shadows in the folds, you may even be able to catch the scent of strawberry if you try! The background is a deep rich chocolate brown. A neutral color that lets the pink shine through. Cupcake postings will be a little random this week, as we are off to another show. But if you follow Scott's Cupcakes on Facebook, I'll give you a little heads up just before we post a new one!
A slice of orange and a fresh blackberry top today's cupcake. The pale yellow cream cheese icing contrasts nicely with the violet background. My favorite part of this is how the light shines through the orange slice, and reflects off the berry. Have a great weekend, and we'll see you Monday.
This is such a beautiful, formal cupcake. Can't you just see a tray of these at a black tie gathering? A mound of sinfully rich chocolate icing topped with shaved coconut and a maraschino cherry. I love how symmetrical this is with the two bands of white breaking up the composition. Perfect!
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?
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!
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!
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!
Today's cupcake definitely fits into my "grown up cupcake" category. Beautiful analogous colors, blue and green, framed by a soft neutral background. Simple, sophisticated, just lovely. This little number would look so sharp in a group in a formal dining room, be brave!
What a sweet thing! Pale pink with pink sprinkles, the topper is a fancy sugary doodad. (Way to go Kathrine, they say the nouns are the first to go!) Surrounded by a fresh spring green, this little cupcake longs to be in baby's room! A great shower idea, or perhaps the perfect thing for the grown up little girl in your life! Enjoy!
Looks like Christmas in July to me! If you are one of those super organized people, this may be the time to snatch up a Christmas cupcake to swap out for another in December. Or you may just be a big fan of peppermint, white chocolate, or the beautiful rich burgundy red that surrounds this gorgeous cupcake. Have a great day!
Ah, a sweet lemon cupcake! Topped with fresh blueberries, the lemon lime color is surrounded by a pale orange sorbet, or perhaps cantaloupe color. A delightful little piece to brighten up a room. Cheers!
This little beauty started as a simple chocolate cupcake, then it was piled high with peanut butter frosting and rolled in flakes of chocolate. Three little peanut butter cups finish it off. Surrounded by a deep purple to complement the golden yellow icing. This would go well in my kitchen, how about yours?
This little cupcake is a pretty collection of soft citrus colors, lemon, and orange, the background can probably best be described as pink grapefruit! Topped with a candy orange blossom, and curls of white chocolate. And the best part is the model is in my fridge! The news you may not know is that Scott's cupcakes can now be found on Facebook, so if you are a facebook junkie like me, just search for Scott's Cupcakes and "like" his page. Then you'll get a reminder each morning just before I post a new one. Cheers!
The fourth of July cupcake showing off one day early! Enjoy the red, white, and blue in the form of strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. All in an amazing paper cup, perhaps Scott's next career move should be designing cupcake liners! Have a fun and safe 4th, and we'll see you again on Monday!
Today's cupcake, the triple chocolate threat! Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, surrounded by a raspberry pink background. A sweet piece for a little girl, or a big girl! Group this with other chocolate favorites, or other cupcakes with hints of pink, either way, it's sure to shine!
A pretty cupcake, pink roses top a mound of pistachio green icing. This is one of those cupcakes where the icing is put on with an ice cream scoop, yum! The background is a pale sand color, a nice neutral to surround the complementary pink and green. A gentle way to introduce a little color into a neutral themed kitchen. Cheers!
The Cupcake Series has finished. Thank you for all your support!

I want a cupcake!
So this is the deal everyone! We will be posting a new cupcake painting Monday through Friday. Each of these sweet little babies is 5" square. They are painted in acrylic on a canvas that wraps around the stretcher bar and is 1 1/4" deep. The sides are painted black so they don't have to be framed. (But you can if you really want.) Each painting is signed by Scott on the back. The paintings sell for $125 each, this includes priority shipping via USPS to your address. If you are a local patron we would be happy to personally deliver it! Sales are all first come, first serve, and each piece is an original. So, if you see one you really really want don't fiddle! Email me (Kathrine) at kallencole@aol.com Tell me the name of the cupcake you want, your mailing address, and a phone number where you can be reached. We accept checks, Visa, Mastercard or Discover, or we can bill you through Paypal. Whichever is most comfortable for you, and we'll work out the details. That's it, easy, right?
Hello all! Quick update, all of the cupcake paintings have sold. There will be one final collection of them available to purchase here on February 12, 2020. Further instructions on how to purchase on that day will be posted soon.
