Shark Week Cupcakes

We just love love love shark week in our house.  The boys especially love it.  What is it about things that can eat you or tear a limb off so interesting.  The fear?  The unknown?  The fact that we can't keep a great white alive in captivity?  What ever the reason I can't wait for it every year.  I found these cupcakes that others have made and thought they were really cool and had to share.  Hope you are all enjoying shark week so far!!!!

These cupcakes Made Famous By:   A Dash of That are my favorite.  Simple yet terrifying????

The fins are made from dark chocolate fondant, rolled to about 1/4″ thick and cut into shark fin shapes free-hand.  I laid the fins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and popped them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to harden.  After they were good and solid, I took them out and brushed each one with silver and iridescent blue edible “pearl dust” (available at cake supply stores or in the cake aisle at Michael’s craft store.)
