Vivacious Cakes was part of the Zombie-Con which began before the walk was set to begin! We served up some gruesome treats such as hearts, eye balls, brains and bags of bones.
The most common response from Zombies passing our table was, "OH MY GOD that looks gross!" This might be the only time that I could say "THANK YOU!" as it was a great compliment! Many stopped to take pictures, which made me proud!At the last minute we decided to add the Bleeding Hearts to our list of offerings. We combined red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and sculpted the shape of a heart. Then we covered them with a marshmallow fondant and added some veins to them.
After making the hearts, I thought hmmm these definitely need something else to give it a pop! So I added a little glaze and viola! The most spectacularly, make you want to vomit in your mouth, but in a good way Bleeding Hearts! We couldn't keep the hearts in stock! They were a crowd favorite!!!
What do you think? Gruesome enough?
I added some maggots to the brains, I mean come on what Zombie in their right mind doesn't like a little maggot here and there!! Some of the cupcakes looked so realistic that passers by picked them up thinking they were candles!!! Zombies who chose the brains got a pleasant surprise once they took a bite!
We filled the vanilla cupcakes with a raspberry filling!

That's right we included cake pops in red velvet and chocolate!!
At the end of the day we had the best time!!! We met some amazing and creative people! I loved all of the Zombies! One of the goals of the walk was to beat to the Guinness World record, previously held by Seattle. Not sure if it's been confirmed or not, hopefully it was! We are so looking forward to next years Zombie Walk!! We are already trying to think of other gruesome treats that we can serve up! More hearts, maybe some kidneys, a lung? We shall see! A big big thanks to my helpers! My Mom and Danny!!! You guys are the best!!
