Skull cupcakes, not scary but delicious

Okay, like many of the photos we post here, I cannot personally vouch for their deliciousness, but I think when you're dealing with the kind of food porn that we specialize in, it's all about the looks. I was inspired by the blog Skull a Day to look for some skull cupcakes in the Cupcakes Take the Cake Flickr pool, which are all way more on the delicious-looking than spooky-looking side, at least in my opinion.

So here are some fun ones:
