Would you live in a cupcake?

I'm not totally sure this looks like a cupcake, but still, how wild!

from World Construction:

In the sleepy hinterland of western Japan, a home building trend is taking shape like a cupcake in an oven.

A bit of a sweet tooth, Japanese baker Katsuyuki Kitagawa always wanted to live in a cupcake - so he decided to make one out of styrofoam (video below).

And just like a chocoholic who can't get enough, dozens of the low-cost homes are springing up in Kyushu.

They're made of 20cm thick pieces of styrofoam covered in a thin layer of concrete, don't require cranes to build and come in 10 pieces.

That's not a cupcake! That's an igloo!
