Bake the Cupcake of Cthulhu

Posted on 07/07/2017 by Shane McGlaun

What do you do if you are a geek who happens to love Lovecraft, and you also happen to be craving some cupcakes? Well you make cupcakes, sprinkle them with souls, and the bake them up in these Cthulhu cupcake liners. Just be sure to use lots of sticky green frosting, and consider using some gummy worms as tentacles.

The liners look suitably old and menacing with tentacles all over them. The verbiage going all around the cupcake liners is an excerpt from the Lovecraft story. It reads: “The Thing cannot be described – there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. God! The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.”

You get 50 cupcake liners for $4 (USD) from geeky hostess. That’s a cheap way to geek up and creep up your sweets and keep them from sticking to your pan.

Posted on 18/04/2017 by Troy Turner

Cupcake is a simplistic and convenient twist on the nanny cam that helps parents stay up-close-and-personal with baby even when they’re not in the room.

While it can be used just about anywhere, it’s also able to attach directly on the crib with a specialized mount. Simply attach the gripping mount and pop on the camera! Its round magnet ensures the cam stays put and allows it to swivel in any direction or at any angle. Compact and discrete, it can also be use on bookshelves or changing tables to keep an eye kids ranging from infants to toddlers.

Magical Unicorn Cupcake Bath Bomb Looks Delicious, Isn’t

Posted on 28/04/2016 by Shane McGlaun

This looks like a yummy cupcake, but it isn’t, at least not exactly. I mean it is a cupcake with sprinkles and rainbows, but it’s not a cupcake for eating. It’s a cupcake for putting in the bathtub and making your skin soft and stuff. It also sounds like something my wife would use without telling me, leaving the tub slippery as goose snot so I fall on my ass and rip the soap holder thing off the wall.

Apparently, the bottom part of this magical, inedible cupcake is fizzy while the frosting top is some sort of exfoliating sugar scrub. According to the label, this thing hasn’t been tested on animals. I’d think if you were going to put your most sensitive bits into fizzy water, you would want this to have been tested on some animal in the past to be sure said tender bits aren’t damaged. I think we should use snakes for this sort of testing. I’ve never seen a snake activist getting all pissed about testing. I mean spraying stuff in a puppy’s eye is a dick move, but snakes can eat an entire buffet of dicks amiright?

The biggest upside to this thing is that the unicorn rubber duck survives and you can play with it for many baths to come, or at least until it gets all moldy and disgusting inside. You can get your own bath cupcake for $11.99 at ThinkGeek.

Doctor Who 11th Doctor Cupcake: The Regeneration That Could Have Been

Posted on 25/11/2013 by Conner Flynn

Check out this Doctor Who cupcake that looks just like the 11th Doctor. It shows us that that Steven Moffat really missed the boat with the latest regeneration. Why couldn’t he have regenerated into a delicious cupcake? Cupcakes are cool! Right?

Don’t tell me that a show full of cupcake people wouldn’t work. Give cupcake Doctor Who a sonic screwdriver and an edible companion and you have a show. And a TARDIS of course. When it is time to regenerate, he just melts and turns into batter, goes into the oven and turns into a new version. Yes, that is the weird way my mind works.

This geeky delight comes from Nerdache Cakes, who clearly know their way around sugar, flour, butter and a pastry bag.

Can You Stomach This? Maggot Cupcake with Mango-Flavored Pus

Posted on 14/10/2013 by Hazel Chua

output_jQxWEi

So this is a particularly disgusting cupcake that would be perfect for Halloween. I think few would have the stomach to actually eat it, given how it’s presented–but then, isn’t that the entire point?

It’s a plain-looking cupcake at first sight, since it’s topped with a simple flesh-colored fondant with not much extra decor. But when you spot the protruding, off-white thing in the middle and look at it more closely, the tweezers they handed you earlier suddenly makes sense and you find yourself pulling that little maggot out, unplugging a pus-filled hole in the process. Ewww!

Of course, everything’s edible. It’s a cupcake, after all. The maggot is just fondant, while the pus is rich, mango-flavored filling.

This cupcake was thought up by the folks from Twisted Fondant for Eat Your Heart Out 2013, a cake shop that will be popping up at the Rag Factory in London later this month.

Grossest Cupcake Ever: Topped with a Maggot, Filled with Creamy Pus

Posted on 09/10/2013 by Hazel Chua

These cupcakes are just plain nasty. But that’s what makes them so perfect for Halloween.

They were baked and decorated by Twisted Fondant, who aptly named them the “Mango Fly Larvae Cupcakes.” Or you could just call them the maggot cupcakes, for short.

The cupcakes look pretty plain, with just a seemingly innocent white dot at the center. But you’ll know something’s up once they hand you a pair of gloves and tweezers along with the cupcake.

There’s nothing else to do but use the tweezers to pull the white (and thankfully, not wriggling) maggot out from the center. Then, as doctors do in actual cases, you’re supposed to squeeze the pus out of the hole.

Of course, you are then expected to eat the entire thing as if these are the type of cupcakes you see and eat every day.

These were made for the Eat Your Heart Out pop-up cake shop, which will be popping up in London later this year.

Muffin Top Molds Give Your Cupcakes Some Love Handles

Posted on 22/08/2013 by Hazel Chua

Muffin Top Cupcake Molds

Tell a girl she makes some delicious muffin tops and she’ll probably give you a slap or two for good measure. Tell a guy the same and he’ll probably just look at you silly or punch you for being a smart-alecky jerk. Fact of the matter is, most people are prone to developing muffin tops if they don’t watch what they eat or exercise regularly. Some people decided to find some humor in this and gave the term a new, literal meaning: Muffin top cupcake molds.

The molds look like teeny tiny pairs of jeans. Essentially, all you have to do is pour some batter in and bake ‘em. When you open your oven, you’ll be greeted by a batch of muffin top cupcakes with the yummiest love handles you’ll ever see or feel on an actual cake.

The Muffin Top Cupcake Molds come in sets of four and are available online for $12.99.
