Cupcakes

This was an idea I’d had floating about in my head for a while before I made it, but maybe it was just my love of cake causing that to happen, who knows?

My biggest problem with this pattern was colour choice, I can’t tell you how many different variations I tried before I settled on this palette. It prompted me to go find some lessons on colour theory so hopefully this sort of thing wont be such a headache in the future.

I’ll be honest that yellow is my least favourite colour so maybe that is why I was having such a hard time, but I did try different coloured icing and that looked wrong to me as well, so the yellow stayed.

I had spent days trying to sort this pattern out and even though I felt somewhat more happy with the colours I found I’d got totally sick of looking at it, by this point no matter what I did I don’t think I would have liked it, so I left it alone for a couple of weeks then when I came back to it again I had the idea of adding the spots to the background, such a small addition but finally I had something I felt happy with.

For Redbubble as well as the pattern I made a motif version for the apron and single cupcakes for stickers and a few other items.
