Geek Cupcakes

We made these cupcakes for our 16 Bit party. Everyone had to come as an old school video game character. The cakes themselves are really easy to make, and the decorating was pretty simple too you just need the right things...


More pictures from the party, my friends costumes were amazing!

Step 1: You will need

a) Edible glitter - we used holographic gold
b) Yellow fondant icing
c) Circle cookie cutters
d) Star cookie cutters

Iced cupcakes (not pictured) i used the recipe from my Zelda heart container cupcakes which is really easy to make. I made the cakes and while they were cooling made the icing shapes so they had time to set' slightly. I then iced the cupcakes and immediately stuck on the icing chapes.

I'm ashamed at my knowledge of 16-bit games (actually lack thereof). It took me like six minutes to figure out the rings were from Sonic the Hedgehog.

FAIL.

[Foaly7]

I know, it's geek depressing.

[Gage987]

At least your representing Spyro.

[Foaly7]

Yeah.

Whoa, those look awesome! I agree with Goodheart - more geekiness necessary for future batches.

[Kryptonite]

I'd recognise those 8 bit rings anywhere!

[Sunbanks]

Ahh, I was thinking either that or Zelda :D

[alittlestranger]

Zelda was my first costume idea, i just wanted an excuse to make a floor length green velvet dress and fairy ears ^_^ But i went for Princess Peach as my sister already had a pink bridesmaids dress
