I feel that its a cupcake cop out to miss out the transition metals, where's my mercury and arsenic cakes?

(who wants a bloody eczema cupcake?)

http://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/periodic-table-of-cupcakes.jpg

better?

wtf these cupcakes are all right on. except the poop one.

including the BLT cupcake with ranch dressing-flavored frosting?

a BLT cupcake was sounding just fine until you brought up the idea of it having ranch on it. There is never an excuse for Ranch.

^^^

I was digging the blt cupcake until the ranch popped up

amazing thread

i'm making a companion poll here to see which dead person cupcake everyone would choose to ear

^^^^ awesome!

I'm completely in love with the Cookie Monster one... but a lot of the rest of these are truly alarming

kind of confused about why you'd want to make a periodic table of the elements out of cupcakes, but maybe I lack imagination

apparently the one that looks like it is covered in metallic mold was decorated by a child so I probably should make some allowances

corn ones are beautiful

and i mean its not real corn its jelly beans

it still does not look like something that someone should eat

^^^^ the first two posts on this thread look disgustingly similar

excuse me first two pictures

brain ones looked yummy til i realized they were brains

don't you mean BRRRRRRRRAINS

to be fair I ran across some awesome-looking cupcakes in my research (like the Pac-Man maze ones); of those, I decided to only include the ones that looked like they would taste horrible

(ditto the iPhone home screen ones; the frosting looks incredibly gross to me)

we appreciate yr hard work on this thread, and we thank u

the heartbreaker of the thread is the first poopcake IMO; those are cinnamon-vanilla and probably taste amazing, but they literally look like shit

these are the worst

http://thusbakeszarathustra.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/cupcakes.jpg

you know what is funny about the poop ones is that I'm not sure that was a deliberate choice on the decorator's part

i mean they may as well of gotten a dog and installed it on top of their sick sick cupcake conveyor belt

http://www.seriouseats.com/2008/09/blt-bacon-cupcakes-more-cupcakes-bakery-chicago-illinois.html

more info on the BLT cupcake, including a positive review that seriously makes me consider ending it all

Everyone loved bacon for a while, but about 10 years ago because of cholesterol concerns and all that, the love for it was a bit underground. It was like loving Murmur-era "Radio Free Europe" Athens, Georgia, REM. But during the last five years or so, the love for bacon became a gluttonous free-for-all. It was like when the album Out of Time came out, and damn if you didn't lose your religion regarding Michael Stipe.

Why the fuck did I read this

more to the point, why the fuck did you read that IN A REVIEW ABOUT A CUPCAKE

mmmmmmm Michael Stipe cupcake, how delicious

one time i accidentally drank a gulp or two of my own rancid urine - long story - and after practically drinking a bottle of mouthwash and brushing my teeth a zillion times i still couldnt get the taste out of my mouth, so overpowering was it - so i ended up drivin to a gas station, just seeing if i could eat some crap or something to help drive away the pee taste in my mouth, and i ended up buying a package of hostess cupcakes - and basically it just ended up that i ate urine flavored cupcakes, so now i associate cupcakes with the taste of rancid urine

amazing simile creation there xp

post of the year

amazing simile creation there xp

a-ha! that's what bothered me about it! i have an eye for awful figurative language, it drives me batshit

and here I was thinking "who on earth writes reviews of cupcakes" while knowing I would probably write a review of cupcakes myself if I could find a way to do that...

cankles, should we ASK how you managed to drink that?! Because, um, WOW.

he thought it was sun tea

p close to the truth actually

I can kind of see that mistake... were you doing a 24 hour urine collection or similar? I know that kind of test does require you to refrigerate your pee!

(if you can explain exactly what these are supposed to be, I will give you a dollar)

This thread has just made me thankful for my own personal laziness about dessert decoration. I just want my cupcakes to TASTE good! I'm not going to spend time trying to make them look like something else, even something cute. Is that so wrong?

Dan, I think those are little misshapen snowmen there. (no payment required)

J contributes that they "look like humans." (That is how helpful 7 year olds are)

I just hate it when people mess around with food - the whole "mashed potatoes, peas, and sausage made into a smiley face" aesthetic makes me feel physically nauseous.

This thread has just made me thankful for my own personal laziness about dessert decoration. I just want my cupcakes to TASTE good! I'm not going to spend time trying to make them look like something else, even something cute. Is that so wrong?

Sara I think that is exactly right! There is one incredibly awesome example out there of how to do this type of thing in a manner that doesn't result in completely fucking annoying cupcakes linked here because it is really everything right about cupcakes and being inventive with them.

Also apparently they aren't snowmen? They are "happy". Srsly fuck that baker.

(I am certain this tastes really fucking great, which just makes the resembles to an open festering wound all the more unfortunate)

I have a friend who spends all this time decorating cakes and the cakes themselves taste bad! I don't get it. When she gives me anything she makes, I smile graciously and accept it, thank her, "put it away for later" and then later I TOSS IT.

Waste of time and calories to eat cute things that taste bad.

really, open festering wounds don't look that much like that, Dan

those shark ones are ugly, but I kind of like the concept, tbh

(okay, really?)

I think I would like to attend the wedding where the "shark attack" is served as the cake. (All too often wedding cakes also taste like cardboard)

Bride, groom... and larvae?!

I'm into evil cupcakes.

(xxpost) They're those Guylian seashell shaped chocolates - another pet hate

srsly not even beginning to understand the concept there. The larvae chocolates have turned the bridal couple upside down!?!

http://trendsupdates.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/halloween-cupcakes.jpg

snoball - I think I have seen those but never tried them. They appear to have white chocolate in them, which is not really chocolate, and which is too sweet and should be banned from this earth

I like the devil cupcake a bit...

White chocolate is just barf - condensed milk and sugar

srsly not even beginning to understand the concept there. The larvae chocolates have turned the bridal couple upside down!?!

it's pretty wtf all around; I think they just were using some chocolates as toppers for the non-cutesy "oh ho, bride and groom diving into cupcakes chortle chortle" ones and didn't notice that they looked like enormous mealworms

(seriously, what the fuck)

(xpost) Those effing sugar flowers that don't taste of anything, and the colouring runs into the surrounding icing, grrrr...

I do not understand why people don't get that cupcakes and cakes are two different things. You know, because of SIZE.

xpost fondant is supposed to taste terrible, too, from what I can gather.

http://www.neatorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/honey-baked-ham-cupcakes-7.jpg

(this is a honey-baked ham cupcake. NOW DO YOU SEE WHY HUMANITY MUST GO?)

also, frosting shouldn't be too sweet.

At Olaf they used to serve us brownies with white frosting that I am quite certain was Crisco mixed with sugar. They also had "mint" ones that I swear had toothpaste on top of them. (Everyone just scraped all that crap off the top, because YUCK)

OH GOD THAT BLACK THING IS A FLY

lol I think I already linked those burger cupcakes

the green tea cupcake looks amazingly unappetizing

kudos on finding some exposed testicle cupcakes; people's imaginations will never cease to amaze

WTF AT THAT LINK

Hey, they're having a Twilight/New Moon contest!

(WHY, GOD, WHY?!)

exposed testicle cupcakes

I think it's supposed to be a brain. Either way, bluergh!

guzmank says:
So cute. Great pic. Never thought I'd want to eat poop

Yes, that's a brain, not a testicle. Don't be silly, Dan!

yes, you're talking bollocks!

haha you guys, please roll with my commentary

AGGGGGGHHHHHH

(I got an A in anatomy, so I can tell the difference between brain cupcakes and testicle cupcakes. So glad I went back to school!)

YOU MADE IT WORSE

Don't mess with The Brain...

GROSS

I hate meatloaf, though, so I am not a good person to try that one on

That "center insert" could be used for nefarious purposes - ie, fill giant cupcake with excrement, give to sworn enemy

remind me to stay on snoball's good side

thank you thread, I just laughed for like 10 minutes reading it and the other half seemed kind of perplexed to find me creased up in hysterics to the point of being unable to form words while looking at a photo of cupcakes

Otherwise, delicious buttercream brains!

Those are some terrible puns.

sad thing is, at first glance I thought the cupcakes depicted pairs of hands in pre- or post-goatse poses. damn this internet.

...and damn you.

:p

If Sandra Lee made cupcakes, they'd just be plain store bought cupcakes soaked in tequila.

those cupcakes don't look like brains at all though. in a real human brain, the crack separating the left and right hemispheres ("interhemispheric fissure" for all you pedants) is nowhere near that pronounced, and there certainly isn't a bald strip on either side of it. the chef is a total Im B. Cile, imho.

not sure you can get more granularity on a mini "brain" cupcake, tbh (nor am I sure I would want it!)
