Sweet Tattoo Treats

Sugary Inkspiration for Badass Bakers

Cupcakes and tattoos are seen together a lot; they’re mostly tattoos of cupcakes, but I’ve also found a rather awesome cupcake decorated with a tattoo.

I am not sure why there is so much cupcake tattoo action--especially evil cupcakes, but it is clear there is a massive cult following. I can’t think of anything less evil than a cupcake, but regardless, this strange fad has delivered me some awesome research results.

For me, it is the cupcakes decorated with the tattoos that exude the real wow factor. They are really clever, really cute and you can show the dedication of a tattoo with no pain and no ink.
