Well, not exactly. But the Wilton Beer Mug Icing Decorations are halfway there. Bake a cupcake, top it off with one of these neat little edible beer mugs and tell everybody that they are made with beer. Hey, if Jack in the Box can give us the Bacon Shake, why not?

I would say this cupcake thing has gotten far out of control, but I doubt many would agree with me; there is no denying that cupcakes are portable and delicious. They probably don’t use these Cupcake Shaped Measuring Spoons down at the cupcake store in the mall near you, but then again, they just might. In any event, the set of four overly-cute cupcake-themed prep tools can be used for whatever you decide to bake. Probably.

Yes, technically all eyeballs are edible (or so they say). But these Wilton Candy Eyeballs are certainly much sweeter. Sold in a pack 56, the sugar eyes are meant for decorating cakes, cookies and other sweet treats. So they probably won’t mind being plucked out (of frosting).
