Just eat it: Edible shark, spider, grasshopper, lizard, hummingbird, and pirate cupcake toppers on Etsy

Etsy seller incrEDIBLE Toppers makes, yes, edible cupcake toppers. There are lots of butterflies in various colors, and then these are these more unusual, attention-getting toppers. I can totally see the shark toppers for a Jaws viewing party. I like that these give new meaning to "grasshopper" and "hummingbird" cupcakes.

Most are $9.95 for a set of 12. From the shark topper listing:

Edible Sharks are made from rice paper (potato starch, water and vegetable oil) printed with FDA approved 100% edible ink on a printer that is used exclusively for edible items.

Cupcake blog dedication: I ate a real grasshopper on and inside a cupcake!

Barb's Bakery of Phoenix, Arizona, was not to be outdone in the "I can't believe I'm eating this" unofficial cupcake category today at Scottsdale, Arizona's Cupcake Love-In, serving up a chipotle grasshopper cupcake. Not "grasshopper," like the chocolate mint flavor, but grasshopper, like the bug. I was challenged as a judge to eat it, along with the four other judges, and we all did so at the same time. I closed my eyes, expecting it to be crunchy and chocolatey. It was indeed crunchy, but salty, and didn't all go down in one bite. I didn't know what flavor cupcake I was eating, so I took a fingerful of frosting, and it turned out to be spicy, so I bit into the cupcake, and it was crunchy! More grasshopper! It was intense. I heard their other cupcakes were alcohol-inspired, including cosmo, but I didn't get a chance to try those. Kudos to Barb's Bakery for going there and forcing us to try something new. I don't think I'd eat grasshopper again, but I'm glad I tried it, and the chipotle had an unexpected kick to it.


that's a grasshopper on top!



yes, those little flecks in the cake are grasshopper.

5 cute Halloween bat cupcakes, plus bat cupcake wrappers

So that bats get their own special due, and because these are extra cute Halloween bat cupcakes...I was very scared of bats when I was little, even though I'm pretty sure I've never seen an actual bat, so I love when cupcakes take something I'd find scary in real life and turn it into something adorable.
