LOST Cupcake Toppers
Posted by Bake & Destroy on January 18th, 2009. Filed under: DIY Cupcake Toppers, free stuff, muffin recipes.
Tony and I have been talking about the new season of LOST a lot lately, and the conversations are eerily similar to the late-night talks we’d have when I was several months pregnant and anxious about becoming a mother. “What do you think it’s going to be like?”
“What if I don’t like it?”
“I hope it doesn’t ruin everything.”
Of course, I don’t remember Tony ever saying “Do you think they’ll bring Charlie back from the dead?” when I was pregnant. Anyway, we’re really excited and I think a lot of you are too which is why I made you a present. They’re LOST cupcake toppers you can make yourself! I got an awesome suggestion via Twitter user anniemaim (thanks Holly!) to stick these in some confusing cupcakes, so here goes. These are cornbread muffins with pesto cream cheese and a side of confusion.
First, make your favorite cornbread recipe in muffin-form. Then, mix together about 1/2 cup softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup pesto. Pesto is really easy to make, but even easier to buy at Trader Joe’s. To make things confusing, and also to get a little pissed off (as I often do watching LOST) stick something that doesn’t make any sense into the muffin batter before baking. I recommend a jelly bean.
Top them with your LOST cupcake toppers and off you go – straight into another frustrating, confusing, infuriating, wonderful season of LOST!

I don’t watch lost, but I feel like I should start. I hear it’s very addicting.
The cupcakes look super, by the way.

Fantastic. We don’t have any friends who watch it, but we party all the same. I’m still working on a Smoke Monster-themed drink.

Awesome. I wanted to get an octagon shaped cookie cutter so I could make Dharma station cookies but that didn’t pan out in time. Maybe it’ll just be confusing cupcakes instead =)

Wow. The only thing that would make them more confusing is if they were covered in guacamole and jellybeans.
I once went to a Lost-themed birthdy party where every single thing that was visible in the apartment (other than the furniture and most of the books) were covered in white paper with a Dharma logo on it. The best were the shower curtain, everything in the medicine cabinet if one were so curious as to look inside (I was), and a giant box on the shelf in the kitchen that said “Tube Socks / tube-shaped fabric to cover feet and legs.” And they had some widget so someone had to enter the numbers on her computer every 108 minutes throughout the party.
I wish I had made cornbread pesto muffins to further add to the “huh?” factor.

I want to go to that party!
