older cupcake sketches

I had been telling everyone that my first cupcake sketch was of the ginormous Quack's Lemon Meringue:

not true! an earlier sketch appeared over on my sketch blog that I'd forgotten about, a Yummy Vanilla/Vanilla:

4/26/09 is the first cupcake sketch

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.

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
