CUPCAKES!!!

LOVE CUPCAKES!!!

But why do I love cupcakes?

They are the perfect size cake, not too much... not too little! 

A CUPCAKE!

 I think cupcakes are cute as can be too! You can do so many things with cupcakes. Jason and I like to make yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker) and we make our own chocolate icing. YuMMo! Take that Paula Dean! A simple cupcake but a super yummy one!

 I'm also in love with The Cupcakery in Knoxville!! DELISH! Their Red Velvet cupcake rocks! I try to stay away from there because it's so dangerous! Here is their site so you can check out some of their other cupcakes! Enjoy! http://www.v1.thecupcakery.net/knoxville/

While day dreaming about cupcakes I started to think about how fun it would be to paint a cute cupcake on some canvas... hmmmm. Off to Hobby Lobby I went to buy some canvas while it was still on sale for 30% off. Oh Happy Day! I started out hating it... and was super bumbed. :( Then I decided to play around and just go crazy with paint and mix Mod Podge in with the paint. Awesome idea! It makes such a cool texture! I got a little crazy with the mixture though. The cherry on top is almost like a pop art! Didn't make it for anyone... no request for a cupcake... I just decided to paint something I love. I might hang it on my desk at work... maybe on the inside of my cube where I can see it all day! Monitor a call... look at the cupcake... monitor a call... look at the cupcake.....! This painting just makes me smile and I hope it does the same thing to others. While sitting there thinking about what I want to do with the cupcake wrapper I was stumped! I didn't want to paint things on it because the metallic pink paint I bought was so cool looking. RIBBON!!! With PINK polka dots!!! It was the perfect touch! I also made the leaf on the cherry out of mesh type of material I use to make my flowers with. I painted it green with the Mod Podge paint mixture and it made it the perfect shape when it dried. A perfect LEAF! :) Enjoy the cupcake!

Perfect ending... a Cherry on TOP! :)
