SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

PISTACHIO ROSE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matt, glass + gold frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Trying desperately to remember a saying but all I have is: A rose, is a rose, is a rose . . . But who needs to remember when there is a  pistachio rose to eat? Thank you Cupcakeology in Albuquerque for the yummy treat!

DONUT + CUPCAKE WAR IS RAGING! BABY, BABY . . . BOSTON CREME! 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white mat, glass + gold frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Now how could this ever have happened? I checked my opponent Kelley , The Contessa of Donuts , and lo' and behold she threw out a Bismark last Thursday! A big, fat, plumb goodness of frosting.   I think there was too much frosting in my eyes. Well here's back at you girlfriend!  A delectable Boston Creme cupcake I snagged  at Cupcakeology while in Albuquerque. And what will The Contessa whip up for Monday?  Click here to see.

WHIPPED + STICKY PEANUT BUTTER 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Even though the Contessa  (she has her head in the  skies  for  now) and myself are back in a  Cold War,  I had  to get  back  into flinging of frosting for  a  very  good reason.  No,  not to  eat.... but to celebrate  tomorrow's event. I'm the  entertainment  at a Wine, Potluck + Art  Party   hosted  by my friend, Cathy.  We coordinated a successful  one  last  year  and was  asked  to return. So tomorrow I'm  bringing  the  dessert and you  guessed it - cupcakes!  But  we're going  to  paint them first. Such fun!    Oh, this cupcake was from Cupcakeology in  Albuquerque - peanut butter! Isn't the tiny slice  of pie on top the cupcake amazing?

POW! PINK BEAUTY 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Pssst... I heard from a Birdie to prepare for an  incoming  citrus whammy. Kelley, The Contessa is flinging frosting once again,  so ....  Duck! And now I'm sure everyone needs to sweeten their  puckers,  so here's  a pink fluff.

PISTACHIO PLEASURE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping   A petite flower nestled atop the mounds of fluffy frosting. So delicate, rich and nutty in taste.  And then the frosting began to fly in a flurry! Moans of delight with each bite of a pistachio morsel. Oh no.... in the frenzy I forgot to look. Where's Kelley ?

A PIECE OF MY HEART 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Can't really call this a Donut War now can we, when  we're flinging frosting on cupcakes? When I was in Albuquerque last week, I discovered  the best little shop called Cupcakeology which has little  morsels to die for. Sigh....  So I thought (there I go once again!)... Kelley,  you better watch out!  And now we're flinging frosting  back + forth with cupcakes.  But the Cupcake Contessa is a wonderful adversary  who really hits below the belt. Ouch!.... She really delivers such wonderful little cakes. Check them out at Kelley's blog .
