Cupcakes are a popular dessert that comes in a wide variety of flavors and designs, ranging from simple vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting to elaborate creations with fondant decorations and intricate designs.
However, some bakers take things to a whole new level by creating some of the strangest cupcakes you've ever seen. Here are some of the most bizarre cupcakes out there.
1. Fried Chicken Cupcakes
Yes, you read that right. These cupcakes are made to look like fried chicken by using cornflakes and vanilla pudding to create the breading and icing to create the gravy. The result is a sweet and savory cupcake that looks just like a piece of fried chicken.
2. Pizza Cupcakes
Pizza lovers, rejoice! These cupcakes are made with a pizza crust base, and topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings. They may not be the prettiest cupcakes around, but they certainly are unique.
3. Sushi Cupcakes
These cupcakes may look like sushi rolls, but they're made of cake! The base is a vanilla cupcake, while the filling is a mixture of buttercream frosting and fruit jam. The "sushi" is then wrapped in fruit leather to complete the look.
4. Pretzel Cupcakes
These cupcakes are a match made in heaven for any Pretzel over. The base is a chocolate stout cupcake, topped with a caramel pretzel buttercream frosting and a mini pretzel for decoration.
5. Avocado Cupcakes
Avocado may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of cupcakes, but these green treats are surprisingly delicious. The base is a vanilla cupcake with mashed avocado mixed into the batter, topped with a lime buttercream frosting and a slice of fresh avocado.
6. Meatloaf Cupcakes
These cupcakes may look like traditional cupcakes on the outside, but they're actually made of meatloaf! The "frosting" is mashed potatoes, and they're even topped with a cherry tomato to complete the look.
7. Hot Sauce Cupcakes
These cupcakes are not for the faint of heart. The base is a spicy chocolate cupcake, topped with a hot sauce buttercream frosting and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
8. Bubble Bath Cupcakes
These cupcakes look like they belong in a spa, not on a dessert table. The base is a vanilla cupcake with lavender buttercream frosting, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a miniature rubber duck.
These strange cupcakes may not be for everyone, but they certainly show the creativity and ingenuity of bakers who are willing to think outside the box.
From savory cupcakes that look like fried chicken and meatloaf to sweet cupcakes that look like sushi and bubble baths, there's no limit to what you can create with a little imagination and a lot of frosting. So the next time you're in the mood for something a little bit strange, try one of these bizarre cupcakes and see what all the fuss is about.
