Awesome bloody body parts
It's been almost a year since I first blogged about these cupcakes. And since then I have developed a love - hate relationship for them. Probably because the creating of the sharks practically drove me to tears. I had worked for hours making twelve sharks. I remember how hot the kitchen was that day (despite the air-conditioning running) and all I had to show for my effort was twelve melted looking pathetic sharks. So I chose two that looked the best (I know what you are thinking, if these were the best then how horrendous did the others look?).
I knew there wasn't much I could do about the way the sharks looked. And for sure I wasn't about to put myself through more torture and make more. But I knew I could create something on the rest of the cupcakes to draw attention away from the mutilated sharks. And what better than blood and gore.
Well, it must have worked because everyone went crazy over the bloody body parts. Thank you Boing Boing, Craftzine, and Flickr for making my cupcakes famous.

I'm feeling the need to get out my prescription pad and play doctor here for some reason. (not that I'm not a bonafide physician, because I am) But sharks? bloody hands and feet? What am I missing and what do I have to drink to get it...lolol
that is hilarious - moogie the cupcake butcher of papland!
I made these cupcakes a year ago for an end of summer party at the clubhouse. They had an art contest and you had to include sharks in your art. Well, I consider baking an art so I made these cupcakes. Then I posted them on Flickr and BOOM! My cupcakes were everywhere. All you have to do is type in shark attack cupcakes and it bring up my blog.
These are so gory... I love them!
