Cupcake 8 - Mutant Ears

Cupcake Name:
Mutant Ears

And this is how it went down:
This one was really easy to make. Like, super easy. The cake is Red Velvet Cake and the frosting is of the deliciously evil vanilla kind.



So, I thought a normal ear is kinda boring even for a cupcake. As I am a complete geek and love Star Trek, I decided to make a Vulcan ear. On a clean, icing sugar covered surface, I kneaded ivory food colouring into a small piece of marzipan until it was completely mixed in. From here, I shaped it into a Vulcan shaped ear using my hands and the other end of my paint brush.



When the ear was finished being molded, I placed it on top of the frosted cupcake.



Wins:
• Vulcan ears. Geeky deliciousness.
• Cake = Numcity.
• Frosting = Also numcity

Fails:
• None, apart from icky tasting marzipan!

What I’d do different if I had my time over:
• Nothing. I don’t think I could actually do any more with this one.
