10 Quirky Cupcakes – Plain ol’ cupcakes are so last season…
I see a lot of cupcakes.
I mean, A LOT of cupcakes. They’re everywhere, all the time, even on sites completely unrelated to food. I love cupcakes (and cake pops, for that matter, which is also rather faddy), but I could easily flood a site with cupcakes in no time. Sometimes I save some that stand out as really unique and plan to blog about them, but never do.
So here’s some just from the last few months that I held onto.
Wicket Witch Crushed by a Cupcake – Love this one! We see characters put on top of cupcakes all the time, but to flip it over as part of a scene? Very cute.
Starry Night Cupcakes Cake – I’m usually not a fan of cupcake cakes, but this one is really well done as the famous Starry Night painting.
Sesame Street cupcakes – Annie was awesome enough to do a full photo tutorial for these. You’ll love how Big Bird’s beak was created.
Santa Claus hats – So what if this is April? They’re awesome. :P
Muppets – We’ve seen a lot of Muppet creations, too, but I still think these are the best cupcakes I saw.
Indiana Jones – Simple, and yet, oh so awesome.
High heeled cupcakes – These gets points just for not being only cupcakes.
Groundhog’s Day cupcake push pops – This is kind of like cakeball pop meets creative cupcake, huh?
Candy frog – Cute, huh?
Piranha Plant – If you follow my Quirky Mario tumblr, you’ve probably already seen this one.
Top 30 Video Game Cakes
How anyone could ever choose only 10, I will never know. And I’m sure there are tons I didn’t even come across that deserved a spot here, so send the video game cakes my way and I’ll edit them in…or do a follow-up. There are just too many good ones.
2. Pacman Arcade
3. Mario and Princess Peach wedding cake 
4. Nintendo Controller – I have a special appreciation for cakes that do NOT use fondant. Yes, they’re amazing, but I also think it takes a special knack to work with liquidy icing and craft magnificent cakes freehand like my mom does.
5. Nintendo DS – Icing instead of fondant again. After checking with some other gamers, the conclusion is that the game is Rune Factory….or Legend of Zelda. Anybody who has played either on DS that can confirm?
6. Blue Yoshi – She explains that the picture on the left is what she printed off, but her 8 year old wanted it blue, so she colored in the picture on the right co copy.
7. Tetris
10. Angry Birds – I’m sick of Angry Birds stuff, but this one is just awesome. It’s a cake based on a t-shirt based on video game. ;)
11. Playable Angry Birds – And really, sick of Angry Birds or not, there’s no way this could be excluded considering you can actually -play- the game on the cake. Too cool.
12. Starcraft
13. Starcraft
15. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Caker? :p)
16. Mario chess board – I bet this took quite a while to sculpt each little figure
17. Q*bert
18. Bioshock
19. Skyrim
20. LEGO Batman
21. Playstation 3 game console with controller, Blackberry phone, and a spilled Pepsi can
22. NES video game console featuring characters Mario, Megaman, Princess Peach, Link from Zelda, Luigi, and I believe Donkey Kong bursting through the butter knife flap (That’s what it was for, right? Flip it up to change the game and then stick a knife in to hold it tight?)
23. Left 4 Dead
24. Ms. Pacman
25. Mario – Previously featured here, but doesn’t make it any less awesome
26. Epic Minecraft grass/dirt cube – In case you were wondering, that’s a 6" x 6" square choc mud cake and 1025 little squares. Yes, that many.
29. World of Warcraft Deathwing
Also, I looked for a good Pokemon cake and none of them really blew my mind like I was hoping. A couple of the Snorlax were pretty close from here, but links are broken.
Silly food art video
It’s videos like this that remind me of all the posts I -want- to write, but haven’t yet. I’ve done some of those, after all, like the pumpkin burger near the beginning. It makes me want to actually repeat some of the others in there, too. Gotta love food art, huh?
