Walking Dead cupcakes
My friends and owners of the Comic Bug wanted cupcakes for a 40th birthday. We talked about a lot of geeky ideas – which just happens to be my thing. Huh. I should open a geek themed bakery.
The theme was ‘Walking Dead…at 40’. Here’s the thing. I hate zombies. They scare me. I truly believe there WILL be a zombie apocalypse and just in case I have cans of Spam in my pantry in case I have to wait it out.
The tv show is popular but I wanted to come up with something that honored the comic
I made some chocolate cupcakes similar to the ‘Back from the grave‘ cupcakes that I made for Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s birthday.
Then I printed out images on cardstock to serve as banners for the back to give the cupcakes some 3D/billboard type elements. I cut them out and attached them to skewers.
I tested out the length of the skewers because I wanted varying heights for the text, images and the hands.
They came out pretty cool, like a little diorama of cupcakes. Personally I don’t think 40 is over the hill, but hey I also believe in zombie apocalypses.
Those are SO awesome!!!
Agreed! Sooo awesome!
I’m a big fan of the show, so I started reading Brent’s comics. I devoured all he had, so now I need to track more down!
These cupcakes are dead to me! Actually, the other commenters beat me to the punch with the “awesome” comments. These are cool. I may have to steal this idea for Halloween next year.
Love these. Love the comic. Love the show. great work.
These are awesome! Where did you get the hands sticking out of the cupcakes?
i love the random sign in the back and the cupcakes.
Just Jenn what did you use for the wrapping of the cupcakes ?
@Norma I used parchment tulip cupcake liners that are pre-folded! You can find them online here.
