Futurama brain slug cupcakes

These Futurama brain slug cupcakes are by blogger alicia policia (via Neatorama), who writes:

I opted to make the brain slugs themselves from gum paste, with royal icing eyes, and flower stamen antennae that I attempted to dye green with food coloring (and very vaguely succeeded in doing so). They are vanilla cupcakes from scratch, with some slightly grenadine flavored buttercream icing brains.
