There may not be blood in these tiger cupcakes, but they are definitely made of winning.

The cake part was vanilla-orange and chocolate layered in chunks. They didn’t really stripe as much as I wanted, but the colors looked fantastic. The frosting was a cream cheese frosting that I colored black. The tigers were made of fondant and I drew them with food coloring markers. These were for Laurence’s going away party.

and some penguins with the leftover fondant:
