I was looking for a special gift to give my sisters and mother this past Christmas. I decided to have some special watercolors commissioned by a famous cupcake artist. Okay- I know that’s a semantic stretch, but technically it’s true.

Jessie from CakeSpy will paint custom “cuppie” art for you. You have read about CakeSpy and Jessie earlier on this blog. She is a joy to deal with. I highly recommend commissioning your own art. Check out her CakeSpy Flickr page for more examples and ideas.

I gave this to my sister, Laurie. She and her family go to a fabulous local bakery every weekend for breakfast. Mommy and Dinky Diva are the “cuppies.” Daddy and the Dinky Dude are the “bacons.”

For my sister, Christine, I wanted something to commemorate our trip to Paris with my niece- the other Dinky Diva. This is a picture of her favorite place we visited ~ Monét’s house in Giverny.

And last, but not least, one for my Mom.  About 8 years ago we went to Italy. This is us in Firenze (Florence.)

At first, you may think it’s strange to commemorate a special moment with a cupcake…but I say, what better way is there? Nothing says love like a pink cupcake!
