I remember when I was a kid hearing this peculiar jingle, "blue and green, should never be seen-- except for in the washing machine!" I recall being stumped over exactly what this jingle was referring to. Blue and green?? Best color combo ever! Combine the two colors together and you get one of my all-time fave color combinations, along with pink and red, red and purple, turquoise and orange, turquoise, green and purple... oh wait. I like all colors, and color combinations. My favorite colors are peacock turquoisey greeny blue and Yves Klein Blue.
Back to life, back to reality: the wonderful Dale from Powerex once again commissioned Coco Cake (also known as: L.K.Sung) to create 230 cupcakes for the 1-Year-To-2010 Olympics celebration day, which just happened to be today, Thursday!) With two days to act fast, preparations were made, a color-specific custom cake stand was created, flour was tossed around and my little oven was in for a marathon session of hot Bikram's cupcake yoga! The result: Coco Cake Cupcakes in Lemon Love, Coco Chocolate Vanilla and Coco Vanilla in BC Hydro/2010 theme colors!! What fun...!!!
Oh yes, back to that crazy jingle-- I believe it's referring to clothing. If there's a prison for people who don't follow clothing-related warning jingles, I've got a life sentence-- I LOVE blue and green together, especially in vintage patterned dresses from the 1960s!
See you real soon,
