Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Forget about regular frosting when the holidays come around. A special day, or night in the case of Halloween, calls for something over-the-top when it comes to dessert, not just a pile of plain chocolate buttercream on a cupcake. This is a ghost cupcake from the Wheatbery Bakery Cafe in Pasadena, California. The spirited treat was captured by Jill of Jill's Notebook. She reported that the ghost was made out of a "marshmellow substance," which sounds like it might have been a very light fondant (the stuff used to smoothly cover wedding cakes), which is very malleable and easy to shape. Underneath the sheet was a mound of green buttercream. Jill didn't report on how it tasted, but as long as the flavor was half as good as the appearance of the cake, we can assume that it tasted great.
If you want to try sculpting a little ghostly sheet for your own Halloween cupcakes, you can usually find pre-made fondant at baking supply stores or at craft stores that also have a section of baking equipment.
