New cupcake decorating hack - squiggly brain cupcakes!! 🧠

[S.Waters.]

Someone was using their 🧠

Very cool.

To clarify: you let the cupcake come to room temperature before serving. The frosting will not melt or lose its shape - it’s buttercream, it’s stable at room temp. It’s not ice cream! 😂
And freezing the cupcake does not dry it out. It actually makes them more moist! I freeze all my cakes for this reason.

For everyone saying it should be two hemispheres: please watch the entire video.

For everyone saying I should add blood: I didn’t do that cause to me, brains aren’t bloody. I get that in like Halloween movies and stuff they’re more gory but I was going for just anatomic brains here!

For everyone saying they’ve seen this before: I’d love for you to share! I did a bunch of research before posting this vid but that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss anything. But note: I’m not claiming to have invented brain cupcakes. Just this specific technique to make them ❤

Oh and PS - just because a creator doesn’t agree with what you say doesn’t mean they’re being rude or attacking you.

Add: a lot of you guys keep send me a link to another baker doing this technique and saying “SEE someone else did it first!!!” but her video was published a few days after mine. Please check your dates before trying to come at me (again).

My dad used to do this! He would put red gel inside, before the cake, to make blood ooze, definitely give that a go too, it looks so good.

This could double as a graduation gift, or anything academic related!!! 😂

[ThngMonstress]

I'm definitely gonna try this but with green icing😍

Fun fact: the brain is the only organ to name itself

I have a smooth brain, no rigges or bumps, no valleys or humps. A ideas slide right off, like a water slide.

I’ve seen this done multiple times by multiple different people and in multiple magazines. this is one of the most common Halloween treat designs out there.

My grandma gave me her 'festivities' cookbook she had from when she was a child. In the Halloween section it had this recipe, made in exactly the same way. My grandma has made this cupcake the same way, same technique, looking exactly the same for possibly 40 years! I loved the brain cupcake as a child.

this would be great for plants vs zombies themed cupcakes!!

You could also use some strawberry syrup or thin blood red icing to pipe within the cracks to make it more spooky

My mom has done this for me and my siblings every Halloween! I love a good “Brain-cake”!

[laughableInflection]

I did this for my little cousin's birthday! It was a whole smash cake so it took a while but it came out pretty cool!

[thoopsy]

If you used a different color, orange for example, it could be a brain coral. Useful for sea themed cake decorating!

That’s actually exactly what I did years ago for my son’s Halloween party! I thought I was so clever but apparently I wasn’t the only one to come up with this!

[cottagefreak]

That is freaking genius, would be perfect for spooky season.

[musiclyrics]

This is perfect for Halloween or a graduation party! Great idea!

[catee.is.coolio]

my grandma did this for a halloween party about 5 years ago, is cool seeing other people do it

So cool, you could even fill in some of the lines with red like gel also, but they look amazing as is!
