Take a bite out of this, bitch. A mere $25,000 apiece! The very same cupcake art cars I zoomed around in for this Boing Boing TV episode are now offered for sale at upscale (and econopocalypse-beleaguered) retailer Neiman Marcus. Congrats to Lisa Pongrace and her fellow designers and builders bakers. Customized Cupcake Car (thanks, Susannah Breslin)

    Don’t get all excited about the cost. The insurance for these cost $15k.

  • Loraan

    Jesus fucking christ. When a Burning Man art-car is being sold at Neiman Marcus for $25k, I don’t know what to make of the world anymore.

  • thepixelpuncher

    Looks like something that would be on an episode of Pushing Daisies.

  • scifijazznik

    I smell a Top Gear challenge.

  • Xeni Jardin

    @scifijazznik, that’s funny — I just smell buttercream exhaust fumes.

  • danlalan

    do they come with the hats, or do you have to buy those separately?

  • IWood

    Excellent! I shall buy an even dozen and build a garage for them on my estate in the form of a giant bakery box, for I am both obscenely wealthy and afflicted by an unnatural desire to be inside of baked goods. This will allow me to realize my perversity in a socially acceptable manner, and draw my unsuspecting peers into it. Eventually, my decadent soirées will be featured on The O’Reilly Factor as evidence of the Hidden Cupcake Fucker Agenda.

    • Nancy

      You are too funny, love your rant.

  • Lilah

    Good question danlalan.

    No hat is a dealbreaker for me. I’m especially fond of the blueberry muffin driver’s bonnet.

  • jimh

    Hats are a $500 upgrade.
    I like cupcakes, cooperative art car projects, and less-rules-more-laughs posses of artists and techno geeks, but $25k is the part that made me LOL! EAT THE RICH.
