Literary Cupcakes- Putting Grad School to Good Use
Posted May 6, 2011

Had to post this because it astounds and amuses me to no end, literary nerd (and cupcake enthusiast) that I am.
The enviable talents of Kelly Vass, baker and English MA extraordinaire:
Moby Dick Cupcakes.
Check out her blog for the full post on this creative, odd, and oddly appetizing baking experience.
And, Kelly, the rumors are true. Only you could make clouds of bloody seawater look that delectable.
Melville would indeed be proud.






um, love this. I want that frosting NOW.
Alicia- the best part was that the night Kelly was baking these genius creations we were chatting and I mentioned I was eating a funfetti cupcake. She mentioned that she was making some funfetti cupcakes as well and did NOT hint about these brilliant works of art!
I feel like this may be one of the greatest baking achievements of my career (second maybe to my first cheesecake ever not cracking). Both because I managed to pull of homemade fondant, frosting and funfetti cupcakes plus the design on top in an hour and a half AND because you thought it was amazing enough to warrant a post on your blog.
Also, I’ve been dreaming up literary-themed cupcakes all day… stay tuned!
