cupcake prints

My order of various sized cupcake prints came in from Society6 (went with the IDed version) 
I set them all up in the studio to contemplate which one to frame and hang in the upcoming show:

the original drawings (in black sleeves) surround the prints 

the largest (at left) is frightening, if you ask me --
the cupcakes are WAY larger than life 
5" tall and 200% bigger than original 
I'm liking the middle size (MEDIUM at Soc6) 

Think I'll do a little improvment on this -- going to add larger border
But I guess I'll have to wait until after the show... I'm going to offer them all as "to order"  multiples, and the print size would change with larger border.

cupcakes @ work!

1/4 gone already when I made it to the box

Suzanne brought in 3 boxes of cupcakes from Yummy Burbank. Many had an Easter theme. My favorite was the Coconut/Vanilla:

so many pretties to choose from!

the "Happy Day" has sprinkles baked into the cake

 don't know what flavor these are...

so much better than donuts!

I snagged the leftovers (red velvet, happy day) to take home to draw.
Once again, I had transport issues (see this post).
The Yummy boxes have a design flaw: holder orifice too shallow.
Sigh.

vanilla frosting topped with toasted coconut and chocolate drizzle

the elusive yummy vanilla/vanilla

I tried my best to get a cupcake to sketch. 

this green frosted one had a terrible tilt to it -- it was the leaning tower of cupcakedom

I returned to Yummy today and after close scrutiny of the Vanilla/Vanillas, I chose a yellow frosted one that looked relatively upright. Alas, when I opened the box at home, it was flipped upside down halfway on the stabilizer tray.

from any angle, it was unsightly

I think the cupcake gods do not want me to do the sketch.

do cupcakes cause insomnia?

"lemon tart" from yummy

they sure do when one has bought 4 and then gone to bed without tasting any!
I had the above with a cup of warm milk and well, I DID eventually fall to sleep.
VERY tasty -- lemon frosting, vanilla cake
