Hidden WIP - suprise cupcake collection

[Whitney Simms]

My first in a collection of 12. They are cupcakes with a “hidden” suprise. I got tons of suggestions from Facebook. My instagram people don’t comment much. One suggested a gender reveal. Once I’ve got them painted I’ll do a collection sheet. Like a printable/kitchen decor thing. Like my ice cream and mushroom ones. I didn’t think a single cupcake flavor was strong enough for the theme. And I do love a set so I can make a set of note cards.

@whitney-simms these are great! I so could see these on a kitchen wall. Great work!

Cute! Definitely a different take on the prompt.

@chip-valecek thanks so much! They are on my wall! But I don’t count. I have 8 more to do and then all do a little sheet that has all of them. That will be my “kitchen” print. I don’t know. I would like to sell prints in an Etsy or society 6. I feel like before I launch it I need quite a few pieces for inventory. Or maybe I just get overwhelmed with the business side and just like to create. Thanks for the feedback!

@whitney-simms I can see these doing really well on etsy, you should do it.

@art-of-b thanks! I am awful at those scenes that everyone does. Your picture is coming along quite beautifully! Reminds me of the three billy goats gruff. I think I’ve found a way to participate and add to the work I need to produce.

Today’s cupcakes. One more day of painting then I have to smoosh them all on the same layout.

What a fun idea. They really work great as a collection. I can imagine a print of them hanging up on the wall, and just staring at it, imagining which ones I'd like to eat the most and what they taste like.

[Whitney Simms]

@tessaw thanks! I’m kinda obsessed with sweets. Glad they look tasty. I did get to eat a hazelnut thing to “make sure” I knew what the inside looked like. Anything for accuracy.

Last batch!

Here is the final. Unless you guys see some small changes I can make. I really have no time to edit before the deadline. I am leaving to go out of town on Sunday.

However, I would love to make changes for a future print. Please feel free to let me know what you think and how I can improve it. I know that the title is a but lame. I am not the most clever at titles. And I will most likely change the "surprise cupcakes" to be a bit bolder and maybe color.

That's all I have for now. Got to quit and sleep.
