Rain's Thursday Art Date: Cupcakes

 

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to show my contribution to Rain's weekly Thursday Art Date.  This week the theme is Cupcakes.

I always love to buy a big chocolate cupcake that I can eat on my birthday.

It appears I like to use the same napkin and place mat

when my birthday comes around.

I also love Banana Oatmeal Crunch.

Back when buffets were actually acceptable, I got two corn muffins, which are similar to cupcakes.

These were candy corn cupcakes.  No, I didn't make them.

I loved these gingerbread muffins.

I had a coupon for buy six very expensive cupcakes, get six free.  I shared the coupon with my friend Sally, who got all the good ones before I had time to choose (I was busy taking photos).  Each of these cupcakes was $4.00 (USD) and I swear they were NOT worth even half that.  What was the deal with the candies in the center of each cupcake?

This was a carrot cupcake.  It went well with springtime tea, too.

When youngsters stayed with me during the summer one year, the youngest made these for the birthday celebration.

These are blueberry muffins I purchased when I was having a tea and coffee party at my home for a few friends.

Now for a bit of art.

This index card was created in 2016.  The sentiment reads "Things aren't always what they appear to be."  The double stick tape was not double stick at that end, and the beach scene actually featured cupcakes and cookies.

This was a blueberry muffin tape transfer over the recipe.  I created it in my altered cookbook.

Finally, my dear friend Kayla Fujimoto sent me this wonderful collage art.  Love the postage stamps she used.  She was sixteen at the time.  I hope you can read the sentiment!  You can tell how old this is because my old metal table had very little rust on it at the time.

All photos were taken by me, all art, except Kayla's cupcake was created by me.  Bleubeard wants to know if it's possible to make catnip cupcakes. 

 

Thank you beyond belief for stopping by.  I am truly grateful to you, my dear friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join Bleubeard and me at Rain's Thursday Art Date.
