Okay, Canada has done it. This is probably the coolest cupcake in the history of cupcake-dom. I don’t know what else to say about this one besides–well geez. I would love to try this, but I am sure it would be an epic Pinterest fail on my part.

I am a pineapple fanatic. When I saw these I knew I had to try these. Unlike the grill cupcakes, I don’t think this would be as big of a Pinterest fail. Although, as long as it is still edible, it’s all good.

Okay, the detail in this is insane! This cupcake is so beautiful, I don’t know if I should eat it, or take a photo and 
stick it in a shadow box? Just kidding, I would eat it. But I would feel really, really bad about destroying this delicious work of art.
Another cute design perfect for a playdate for young kids. This is probably one of the easiest treats on this list to recreate. If you do, make sure you save me one (or two!).
