World of WarCrafts: The unbearable sweetness of being Horde

Not that you really needed more sweets, this close to the hip-padding holiday season -- but these cupcakes from Gixx of Natural Order on US-Farstriders-H look sweet enough to tempt the Alliance into developing a taste for the Horde, don't you think?
"I am new to fondant," Gixx confessed to us, "but it's honestly just fancy Play-Doh. You spend a few years as a kid making fake food with that stuff, you learn a few tricks. I did learn that a paper printout of the Horde symbol will stick to the fondant and make a huge mess, so I had to use an X-Acto knife to slice it out of some thin, clear plastic. That left me with a reusable stencil that I then cut around the fondant with."
Other advice from the chef: Frost normally before decorating for bonus to +taste. Keep fondant covered and sealed until you're ready to use it. Keep the finished cupcakes covered, too, so they stay soft and yummy. For the Horde!

As a Horde member I can confirm that Garrosh DOES live on these things.

It does explain why he's so hyperactive and the bad skin...

/sigh. Horde have such a cool logo ... but then again they have male blood elves too ... so I guess its a trade off I can live with.

Those look great! I did Fondant hearthstones that went on top of the cupcakes I made for the BlizzCon party I hosted. There was a learning curve involved :)

If you haven't eaten fondant before, be aware that it tastes like old, gross marshmallows. It's handy and workable, but I'd scrape it off anything you plan to eat.

Join the Horde! We have cakes!

Those are the most ominous-looking cupcakes I've ever seen.

Surely, someone in the Alliance will bake a pie to counter the Evil of the Horde???
