It’s almost Halloween, aka, Scaring the Shit Out of Kids Season. And, there could be no better way to do this, than to frighten children via baked goods.
Zombie Mouth Cupcakes, by Instructables member SemadarG, are made to look as though they’ll bite you back. Please do not let that happen of course, as you will eventually turn… probably into a scary cupcake. Instructions here.

Here’s proof, that if you allow a food trend to hang around long enough, stuff like Sushi Cupcakes is bound to happen. We only have ourselves to blame.
Brought to us by Mosogourmet, the ‘cupcakes’ are made by forming raw fish and rice into temarizushi (sushi balls).
The best part, if there needs to be one, is that the cupcake wrapper is edible nori. Actually, this look kinda awesome. Want.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of the most quotable and thoroughly awesome comedies ever. So, when our good friend Aarti Mahtani Raman of AMR Catering was commissioned for an Anchorman-themed baby shower, she created a series of treats that are sort of a big deal.
Borrowing from Anchorman’s quote arsenal, Aarti used them as inspiration for her baked goods. From Butterscotch Blondie Bars — inspired by Ron Burgundy’s proclamation of scotch-love — to Sex Panther Cake Pops that are made from bits of brownie, so you know they’re good.
See more from the series below. And remember… milk is a good choice.

Apparently, rideable cupcakes are a thing. At least as far as the Burning Man festival is concerned. So, whether you’ll be attending the event this year, or just need an interesting way to get around town, The Birth of a Cupcake Car is here to help.
Brought to us by Make member devilsfoodcupcake, the tutorial will have you riding in style in no time. Unless of course you forget to wear the cupcake hat. Then you’ll just look silly.

If you have an internet baking show and you take requests… stuff like Mountain Dew Doritos Cupcakes is bound to happen.
Brought to us by Rosanna Pansino of Nerdy Nummies, the project begins innocently enough as lemon cupcakes, then the pandering to gamers begins with the addition of Mountain Dew-laced icing and Doritos topping. Let us know how they turn out, nerds.
