April Fools "Cupcakes"

I wanted chEAT day join in on the tricks for April Fool's Day this year so decided to make these:

what? regular cupcakes you say? you (like my son) are sadly mistaken! Here's a closer look:

Yup, Shepherd's Pie "Cupcakes" a meaty "cupcake" with mashed potato "frosting."

I didn't have any big plans for these guys, but destiny (in the form on my younger brother) called. He had been asked to Sadie Hawkins with a cake and wanted to answer in a similar way with an April Fool's twist. I told him I had the perfect idea right in my oven and I'd bring them over. We put them in a box and he made a sign saying

"Nothing would be sweeter than going to Sadie's with you"

We did have a couple real cupcakes in there too though (I can only joke so far about sweet treats!), I haven't heard how it went, but I thought it was pretty clever :) Was the joke on me?

hey I made the exact same thing for my kids on Fools day, just not quite as pretty as yours. They were so excited to get cupcakes for dinner and then had a fit when they found out that it was mashed potatos and meatloaf. haha I also did fish sticks that were actually wafer cookies covered in peanut butter and corn flakes, it was pretty funny.
btw, your stuff is beautiful and looks so yummy!!!

"O.K. Alexis' comment just cracked me up. Too funny. This is a very clever idea (although I wouldn't want it to happen to me). Cute too.

Lol that IS pretty clever! For a min there I thought you were gonna say there was meat instead of a cake, but the top was still frosting. Yuck! At least you allowed it to be something that tastes good together--meat and potatos. Good thinking!
