No, this isn't the Dracula - The Undead review post.

[cupcake_goth]

I'm still gathering my strength for that. No, this is a post to say I have found what may be the perfect present for me, ever. If anyone ever felt like spending $25K on a present for me, which I admit is very unlikely.

A cupcake car! (clicky-link of AMAZEMENT!) From Neiman Marcus. OF COURSE I WANT ONE. WHY WOULDN'T I?

::reads the sales copy::

Eeee! They're customizable! I could have a pink and black one!

If you listen closely, not only will you be able to hear the Stroppy One rolling his eyes, but also muttering "Good God woman, NO" under his breath.

Cupcake car! CUPCAKE CAR!

Quoth Mal: "Jilli does not get to have one of those. I am going to side with Pete pre-emptively! No!!"

Quoth I: *cackling laughter*

MAL IS A WRONG-HEADED CRAZY PERSON.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

see, I am with you. I want one too.

Mal insists that it is not at all reasonable to drive a cupcake car that came out of burning man around town.

I love that they come with hats. :D

[schwarze-krahe.livejournal.com]

GLEEE is right. If I win a lot of money I am buying you one.

[marchwarden23.livejournal.com]

YOU DON'T NEED A DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR THIS GOOD CHRIST GET ONE NOW.

NOW.

I'll get it for you only if I get to chase after you with a spatula.

[bork.livejournal.com]

Wait - you *don't*?!

Tempting...very tempting!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE YOU CAN CHASE AFTER ME WITH A SPATULA!

[leenerella]

Those look a lot like the ones that have been driving around Burning Man for the last 6 years or so... :)

[marc17.livejournal.com]

Ah, good, you found the pictures of the cupcakes from Burning Man.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

From what I understand, they're made by the same designer. She just convinced Neiman Marcus to give her a lot of money for the idea.

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

I've never actually been to Burning Man, but isn't that kind of counter to the concept?

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Selling stuff during Burning Man is verboten, but afterward is nobody's business but the artist's. Besides, that means money for the next )'( project.

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

...Neiman Marcus?

[lilmartini.livejournal.com]

I am on the side of the stroppy one. NO

[hecubot.livejournal.com]

I've seen the cupcake cars driving through Berkeley.

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

While I can understand the appeal, for you, I think $25K is a bit pricey for a "vehicle" that tops out at 7mph and doesn't look particularly weather-proof. Otherwise, you'd look adorable in it I'm sure!

[queeniex.livejournal.com]

Ahhh hahahahahaha!! I want one too!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

We could drive around together as a little cupcake gang! HB and the Stroppy One could stare at us in disbelief and shake their heads! It would be WONDERFUL!

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

This is why we love you woman.

[qball-evans.livejournal.com]

LOL, please god I hope my wife never sees this picture!

[tauren-wardrums.livejournal.com]

I second this, but mine will inevitably stumble across it and proclaim her glee.

[strawberry-goth.livejournal.com]

I want one! Can they spin like the teacups at Disney?

[lorelei-mayrose.livejournal.com]

Ha! you've been on EGL, right? :) I saw that post too. Those cupcake cars are totally crazy. I kinda want to try driving one :D and that comes from someone who hates driving...

[torreybird.livejournal.com]

Even I thought these were too silly.

And then I thought - yeah, but could you put fangs and a tasteful drop of blood on it?

VAMPIRE CUPCAKE. Now that would take it from "too silly" to ... um ... bwahhahahahahahaaaa.

[caleidescopeyes.livejournal.com]

To properly represent the UK, I want one that looks like a Cherry Bakewell Tart. The hat would, of course, be the glacee cherry.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

I saw these at Burning Man back in '07. They're pretty neat. I don't feel like following that link on my phone, so I'll assume some Burners have managed to make art cars pay.

[phoenixfire12.livejournal.com]

THAT is the ultimate Halloween costume! Awsome!!! Talkign about being able to play with your food... LOL.

[teenagewitch.livejournal.com]

I want one!! Hubby says no of course but I want one anyways

[valdary.livejournal.com]

How much!!!!!

I'm sure a teenage mechanic and an art student could knock one together for less than $100

Some of your friends must have teenagers, bribe them with edible cupcakes.

If I wasn't ill I'd do it myself, it can't be harder to make than a racing hovercraft.

[prettyshrub.livejournal.com]

Do the Stroppy One's eyes ever actually fall out? Do you have to go chasing after them with a victorian style net?

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

I just remembered - we're still waiting on those black lipstick reviews. *wiggles eyebrows*

you popped up on my FB feed

[ladymandrake.livejournal.com]

http://s213018768.onlinehome.us/shopnew/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_31&products_id=191

That popped up this morning on my Repo Fan's face book feed, thought I'd share that you are popping up all over the place

Here comes the bride?

[divatwk.livejournal.com]

These cupcakes have given me a hilarious idea. This spawned from a conversation about people and the music they choose for their weddings. I thought instead of the wedding march song, play "Low rider" and have the bride come down the aisle in one of these.
