Creepy Cupcakes' 200th Post

This is the Creepy Cupcakes blog's 200^th published post. In honor of the occasion, I am taking a moment to explain this blog and its purpose.

Essentially, there isn't one.

It's been noted before that there aren't many "cupcakes" on the Creepy Cupcakes blog. The title actually refers to a concept I have always found amusing - the idea that something as cute, little, and sweet as a cupcake could ever be creepy. No matter how many tombstone cookies you add to it, a cupcake is still delightful.
Creepy Cupcakes is about that - the morbid Martha Stewart in me. It's all quite pleasant, even if I give it a dark twist. I bake, I decorate, I entertain friends and family, I plan my wedding; just like any stereotypical girl does. But I find it frighteningly impossible to do it the way the average girl would because I'm the type that thinks cupcakes are sweeter with skulls on top.

I am a cheery little weird flake, and my blog was established to indulge that fact. The things that make me shudder (like spiders) also make me smile. I giggle my head off in horror movies. When faced with spooky stuff my reflexive response is almost always 'oh how cute!' I am happiest surrounded by macabre humor.

I love that this forum allows me to make friends who find the Halloweeny side of life the most comfortable. Sharing chilling pictures or terror-ific ideas, building a community of diversely twisted minds--blogging is better than I imagined it could be.
