Theme: Creature from the Black Lagoon This piece is a throw-back to old scary movies. Creature from the Black Lagoon was originally released February 12, and is considered one of the top 100 horror classics. The stump and head of the piece are cake, and the arms are rice krispy treats. We used Caljava Fondx mixed with CMC to cover the piece and painted it with Rainbow Dust Gel Colors mixed with EverClear. The lagoon pool is created out of Simi Isomalt that was colored with Rainbow Dust Gel Colors. Below is a video tutorial by Laurie showing how to create a chocolate cupcake shell.

Theme: Killer Klowns From Outerspace This giant cupcake is a brief glimpse into what brings Shorty the Klown much joy. Whipped cream pies made from acid that dissolve anything it is thrown at. Cotton Candy Cocoons that melt humans into a nice drinkable liquid. And one of his favorite pals, a hand shadow puppet T-Rex that chows down on any living being. Below is a video tutorial in which Raisa shows how she created the Circus tent.
