Cupcake cake that looks like a hot dog or sausage bratwurst on a long john doughnut bun and raspberry icing as ketchup

This does. I’m sure plenty of people are completely grossed out by it and I actually ran across it because it disturbed some people so much…

But I think it’s brilliant!

Do I necessarily want to it eat? Nah. Do I think the pictures from before it was cooked look rather gross? Definitely.

But the idea of filling a casing with something completely unexpected, cooking it, then grilling it and adding it another similarly placed dish to turn it into something completely different? Uh, yes please. In case you couldn’t tell, the “bun” in that picture is half a long john donut and the ketchup is a raspberry topping.

And because Stef is awesome, she even gives a full picture tutorial of how to make your own. It might gross you out, but come on, what little boy wouldn’t love that at his next birthday? Scratch that. Father’s Day is here, isn’t it? What guy wouldn’t love to be allowed to have dessert for dinner? :P

Football, baseball, basketball – What shape is a strawberry?

Wiltons chocolate covered strawberries painted to look like a basketball, baseball, and football with icing

Obviously all three, right? And these chocolate covered strawberries could easily be tennis ball shaped, too, or just about any other ball that has distinct markings that could be drawn on. Nobody cares what the actual shape is.

According to Lori from RecipeGirl, these are an absolute hit, too. From an online store, these will cost you a whopping 25 bucks for only 6 of them, but it’s guaranteed you can make them yourself for a lot cheaper with the same results.

Porcupine meatballs with rice, cheese, ground beef shaped to look like real animal
 
Those little guys started off as porcupine meatballs. Go on, google what they’re supposed to look like. Or here, let me do that for you: LMGTFY
 
Mine obviously weren’t as spiky as they could’ve been, though, so then the toothpicks were added…
 
But porcupines need faces, too, right? Not just mohawks apparently.
 
So by the end, I had a band of California raisin guys instead.

Porcupine meatballs with rice, cheese, ground beef with faces made of raisins and cranberries

 
Oh yeah, rock it you little rice, cheese, meatballs…. Ok, maybe not.
 
But you’ve gotta admit they look better than this did:

Rice and meat cheeseballs with toothpicks

 
And no, I can’t even tell you if that was the creation pre-face….or simply me taking pictures of the raisin dude butts. Does it really matter? No, of course not.
 
Also, this special closeup shot here is for the people who often ask how I get various faces to stick to random textures. Here’s an example of what happens when things don’t go as planned and I need a little extra duct tape toothpick help.
Stab your eyes out with toothpicks - Recipe for porcupine meatballs
In case you’re wondering, yes, they were quite delicious. But please, if you’re going to hide toothpicks in the eyes, at least warn the kids before they bite into them…
