Yes, baby back rib Dr. Pepper cupcakes exist, they are not a joke (well, they strike me as pretty humorous, but I mean they are not an optical illusion, someone really made them). Via Foodista, who has four other "manly cupcakes" for Father's Day. I know some people will see this and think, "Meat cupcakes? Savory cupcakes? Those aren't real cupcakes." But I say even if it's not something I'd necessarily want to eat (and for me I think the fact that you'd have to dissect this and eat the rib separately might prevent me from digging in), it's still pretty creative and interesting looking (I at first thought it was a palm tree, actually).

Like cupcakes? Like Baby Back Ribs? Like Corn bread? I know I do, but its such a hassle switching back and forth. Hey wait, why not combine them all! And, just like that, Baby Back Cupcakes were invented. Now usually when i come up with a zany idea, I'll trawl the internet to see if someone else has all ready done this before or not, and to my surprise it hasn't. Now sure lots of people make savory cupcakes, I've seen some stuffed with pulled pork and other tasty options , But none on the actual bone. Doing this with ribs is perfect as it even gives you a stick of sorts to eat the cupcake off of. The frilly paper hats are optional of course, but they do offer a fun silliness and a functional application as well, a reduction in the messy fingers category.
