I modelled mine on the Japanese de Blobs.
You may or may not remember that I wrote an article for IGN AU and Kotaku AU the other day about a professor who claimed that violent videogames (“violent” being interpreted quite broadly as anything that involves destruction) cause people to be more aggressive. Well, I have a new theory to throw into the mix. Videogame cupcakes make people more aggressive.
My goodness, I was one angry girl when I was baking those de Blob and Tetris cupcakes. They were the most frustrating things to make. In the time it took me to sculpt a de Blob, I had grown a luscious beard that reached the floor and, because I’m incredibly uncoordinated, I kept stuffing up and had to try again and again and again. All for the sake of a mother trucking cake.
Below is a recipe for the marshmallow decoration I made. You can use it on any cupcake — chocolate, vanilla, orange — and you can even cheat and bake those Betty Crocker-style “dick cake in a box” things, and then add the decoration on top. It’s not like anyone will actually care whether or not you baked it from scratch. If they ask, you can lie and they’ll never know. Conveniently, I didn’t document the cake-making/baking process this time, so you’ll never know whether or not I actually made these cakes from scratch! Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t; I’ll let that play with your mind for a bit while I show you how I made the marshmallow fondant.
