Superhero & Villain Cupcakes


Choose your cupcake, are you a Superhero or a Villain?

This is the ideal setup for a Superhero vs. Villain Fancy Dress Party, the birthday girls dressed up as the Villains Medusa and Bonnie (from Bonnie & Clyde) maybe Villains are sexier?

I created a series of mini cupcake toppers using the chocolate transfer method:

Superheros included: Superman, Sheriff, Robin Hood, Batman, Flash Gordon

Villains included: Medusa, Bonnie, Scream, Joker, Green Lantern, the Devil, Dracula


In hind sight there were so many more I could have added and this setup / design is adaptable to many different formats.

The cupcakes themselves were 50/50 vanilla and chocolate, with 50/50 vanilla and chocolate frosting.

A great suggest that was made later was halo transfers on angle food cupcakes and the devils on devils food cupcakes.

Hi, do you take orders?

cupcaketastic said...

Sometimes, but they are cakes of love, aren't you in Malysia?

im currently residing in australia. how much do you charge?

cupcaketastic said...

Its hard to say, mostly they are gifts (no charge) but I treat them as if they actually are commissioned work.

But if you are asking for yourself, so you can work out what to charge a general rule of thumb used by bakeries is: ingredients cost, plus baking and decorating hours, times 3.

You can email me at cupcaketastic@hotmail.com if you have any further questions.
