Illuminating Iridescent Desserts

Black Light Cupcakes Will Make Adults Act Like Children Again

Glow-in-the-dark items seem to always be restricted to non-edible items, but blogger Cakery Creations has transformed this party favorite into something tasty with the black light cupcakes, a delectable edible dessert.

For whatever reason, glow-in-the-dark anything is popular with people of all ages. Cupcakes are just as popular -- they're simple and easy to eat and don't require any cutlery. A fine balance between the edible treats and the glowing allure has given birth to an irresistible cupcake that will make adults consume them like children on a sugar high.

These cupcakes seem impossible at first. The mind wanders and wonders how the blogger managed to douse the mini cakes in the glowing solution. Well, Cakery Creations is no selfish baker and the recipe is shared freely on its blog.
