DailyDirt: Meat + Cupcakes = Crazy Delicious

Cupcakes were really trendy for a while, but they've probably jumped the shark by now. Still, who doesn't enjoy a good cupcake every now and then? Here are just a few examples of some interesting twists on the traditional cupcake -- that include a few more animal parts than you might expect (or want).

Cupcakewurst is actually somewhat meatless -- it's a sausage casing filled with cupcake batter. This dessert is baked, and then *grilled* a little before serving to provide a sweet ending to a meaty meal. [url]
The Meatloaf Bakery in Chicago has created a burger cupcake with a cheesy mashed potato frosting. "That'd be a really good dessert for your kid's surprise party, if you didn't like your kid." [url]
If you live in the DC area, you can get a BBQ pulled pork cupcake for about $9 as a bar snack at the Bourbon Steak Lounge. It's a cheddar-flavored biscuit in the shape of a cupcake, filled with pork... yum. [url]

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I like roast pork fat, so I hope that's the "frosting"

My brother-in-law was really into treats like this. I remember one birthday party where he made a meat cake for himself. It had like 5 different layers of meat with bacon for frosting. He died of a heart attack at age 27.

By the way, I wasn't joking. It sounds like a joke but it sure wasn't funny for his family. The autopsy found advanced arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries.)

The cupcakewurst *is* the shark jump of the cupcake.
