Brain cupcakes

These brain cupcakes were made with "red velvet raspberry cake with French vanilla cream cheese frosting and a chocolate brain by Pamela."

Brain Food

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

You know what’s really good? Cream cheese + butter + powdered sugar + vanilla extract + kitchen aid. Whip it, spread on cinnamon graham crackers and enjoy. Often its the only way I get through day.

Wolfie: Kitchen aid? What’s that, ground-up rubber spatulas? Some kind of cleanser? The sous-chef?

Seriously,though.
Some have brains, some have talent.
Some have both.

Plug for a great movie about a brain-eater: a Mexican horror flick of the early 1960s:

Hmmmm…it seems to be out-of-print,now; so my advice is to keep an eye out for it as a rental, or in the “deleted” bin.

@#13 Anonymous,
Any chocolate cupcake recipe will do. Something like this is about looks, not taste. You can even use box mix and canned frosting from the grocery store.

You can brain molds here.

Somehow, I’m not seeing this as the sort of thing to bring to the Church’s bake sale.

I’d love to offer one of these to someone who’s feeling a little queasy after having a more than a few too many at a keg party.

I want a chocolate brain!
Takuan

mmmm! but there should be a little sugar stick “spinal column” to lever the brain out to eat separately. That would also give hot zombie chicks something to tie a knot in with their tongues before offering it to you.

it looks more like “ripped out testicle cupcakes” to me. not very appetizing either way. :/

Well, if there’s any troof to the old saying “You are what you eat”, it makes more sense than eating broccoli.
