Dark Chocolate Cupcake Painting

I had a really difficult time listing this painting on eBay this week because it matches my kitchen. My husband's says I'll sell anything I've painted that isn't attached to the house. I'm really bad about not keeping anything for myself. This is a much larger painting than my other cupcake paintings. It measures 12" x 16" and I even have the perfect spot for it. I may have to do another one of these for me!

This triple fudge cupcake is made with dark chocolate and has a rich fudge texture. You'll want to sink your teeth into this beauty piled high with piped green mint frosting and topped with pink roses. Displayed on a pink decorative cake plate and covered with a glass cloche, this cupcake will make your stomach growl each time you walk by it. A brown grosgrain ribbon with tiny pink dots is tied in a bow and attached to the cake plate. The black lettering at the top of the picture is dripping with green mint icing.

These dreadful pink counter tops came with the house when we bought it, but this painting looks good with them. I painted my kitchen brown when we moved in because I thought it would make the counters look more like beige. I may have to give in and play up the pink because I have to live with them for a while.

  3. Hi Catherine, love this cupcake. Every once in a while, I make something that I like so much I do keep it for myself. I figure I deserve it every now and again.

    This cupcake certainly does look lovely in your home.

  8. Please don't sell that one! Or do get busy painting another similar one...that painting pulls everything together so beautifully! I like your pink countertops and, by using browns, you have made it unique and lovely. I don't think that I would give them up too easily.

  15. Hi Cathie :)

    That painting is adorable and I understand having a hard time selling it. Even my silly birdhouses are special to me and when I give them away I feel like they are taking a piece of them with me :)

    You could play up those counters and really make them adorable. Sometimes (as I've learned with this house) things that you don't think will work, really make a room special ;)
