MAKE: Blog: Xeni joins the cupcake 1%-ers

Xeni joins the cupcake 1%-ers

There's something divinely surreal about giant cupcakes tooling around with human heads poking out of their centers. We had the cupcake cars at last year's Bay Area Maker Faire and I had a laugh every time they trundled by the MAKE booth.

In this BBtv video, Xeni rides with the Cupcake Cutthroats (shiver me sprinkles!) and gets a guided tour of their motorized muffins. Think: Russ Myers meets Hostess.
