We eat with our eyes more than we think and these cupcakes by baker Alana Jones-Mann will have you taking a double take before deciding to indulge. Crafted to look like cacti, the cactus cupcakes feature all the fixings to make them look like baby plants plucked straight from the earth; skillful frosting piping, fondant accents and a gravel-like base make these sweet treats look good enough to eat (and you can do just that).
While the creations by Alana Jones-Mann look awesome, I'm envisioning something of a hard-to-duplicate experience if you try to make them for your next birthday or party. However, she offers a complete set of instructions on how to create them yourself if you're feeling confident enough.
