Red velvet, icing, Pinterest, vintage and hipster photo filter—these are a few of things that first come to mind upon hearing the word "cupcake."
All that's about to change.
The Cookie Dough Shop has not only jumped into the Halloween pastry bandwagon, it took control and drove the bandwagon into the brink of insanity with this zombie mouth cupcake.
This zombie mouth cupcake looks real enough to be inedible. Otherwise it wouldn't be described by headlines as "disgustingly delicious," "terrifying zombie mouth cupcakes" or "zombie mouth cupcake looks like it might bite you back."
Now that we've established the severity of this cupcake's scare factor (on a scale of one to I-should-have-just-stayed-home, how scared will your Halloween party guests be), it's time to deconstruct it.
The following recipe is provided by SemadarG from Instructables.
The first step is to color the fondant.
Make a "wet" finish by mixing red coloring gel with drops of vodka of lemon extract. Make "dry" finish by mixing red coloring gel with a drop of royal blue and adding drops of vodka or lemon extract.
Use a brush to apply the wet finish surrounding the skin tissue in step five. Apply the dry finish surrounding the gums in step three. Add graciously in the places where the gums meet the skin tissue, around the teeth and in the dents to give it a lifelike impression.
Let this dry, then assemble it on top of your cupcake frosting.
Serve and watch your guests freak out!
