Cupcakes have been iced up in pink and glitter for far too long... and now they are getting their revenge!

Lily Vanilli shows how you can take inspiration from the macabre and grotesque to create some really evil-looking cakes that taste divine. Using natural ingredients and edible decorating materials, such as edible lustre dusts, gum paste, and glazes, Lily shows you how to turn basic cupcakes into amazingly realisticand delicious--sculptures, from Eerie Eyeballs to Ghastly Ghouls. For really gory desserts, why not make Dracula's Bite red velvet cupcakes, or some Bleeding Hearts, which are molded with deep red fondant into human hearts and covered with a cherry 'blood' sauce?
