@@_chocomuffin_Halloween on food social media is already popular, not just done on this channel. For years, Christmas in October (not quite September, usually) has also been a thing for awhile now.
To clarify: you let the cupcake come to room temperature before serving. The frosting will not melt or lose its shape - it’s buttercream, it’s stable at room temp. It’s not ice cream! 😂 And freezing the cupcake does not dry it out. It actually makes them more moist! I freeze all my cakes for this reason. For everyone saying it should be two hemispheres: please watch the entire video. For everyone saying I should add blood: I didn’t do that cause to me, brains aren’t bloody. I get that in like Halloween movies and stuff they’re more gory but I was going for just anatomic brains here! For everyone saying they’ve seen this before: I’d love for you to share! I did a bunch of research before posting this vid but that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss anything. But note: I’m not claiming to have invented brain cupcakes. Just this specific technique to make them ❤ Oh and PS - just because a creator doesn’t agree with what you say doesn’t mean they’re being rude or attacking you. Add: a lot of you guys keep send me a link to another baker doing this technique and saying “SEE someone else did it first!!!” but her video was published a few days after mine. Please check your dates before trying to come at me (again).
@@roxannadrake7186 haha thanks!! Unfortunately I can only see what’s posted publicly. And actually as far is claiming something as an invention, you have to have dated public evidence. So you may have done it first but if it wasn’t published, you wouldn’t be credited as the inventor. Fun facts!
@@StillBusyBakingok but being credited with inventing something doesn't mean you were actually the first person to invent that thing. That's their entire point.
@@Jocelynngoslinshe did not state that she was the FIRST to invent it .. she said “I just invented” so if she has never seen it before then she invented it …
@@Jocelynngoslin Whoever is credited with inventing it is the actual, official inventor. Without evidence, any other claim is just a he said she said type situation 🤷♀️
I’ve seen this done multiple times by multiple different people and in multiple magazines. this is one of the most common Halloween treat designs out there.
@@ManicMonster713 can you provide a source? No offense but hundreds of people have said they’ve seen it but not a single one has provided any evidence lol
@@animeaunty the funny thing ? brains arnt rally pink if your going for realistic :P but a thin red deco glaze while its frozen would also make decent blood effects
@@DWB_Plays_Canada Yes, I almost wrote that a better color would b to add some grayish color to the pink but then stopped to think how unappetizing that would look 🤢 😄😁😅😂🤣
@@user-oo9cg8wi9woh my God.. you are so stupid.. the creator said "L O L" because she thought she invented it first. Then a person said "what's so funny? You thought you invented it huh?" Creator said "I did" as by "I thought I did invent it!" And people started attacking the poor woman. Gee.
My grandma gave me her 'festivities' cookbook she had from when she was a child. In the Halloween section it had this recipe, made in exactly the same way. My grandma has made this cupcake the same way, same technique, looking exactly the same for possibly 40 years! I loved the brain cupcake as a child.
Yea whenever someone thinks they’ve invented something, they didn’t. Everything has already been made and done and it’s just ideas floating around waiting to get passed to another.
Dis she use smooth half sphere molds like this? I looked all over the Internet and couldn’t find anything the same. Not that your grandma has to post pics or anything, but I’m just wondering ❤
@@Tony-bored-daneby you got to be like that? She hasn’t seen it before and created it with her own brain, so it’s POSSIBLE someone has done it before but she didn’t know about it. So yea, I would say she invented it. Just because your jealous she can bake and you can’t, don’t be an a$$hole

That’s actually exactly what I did years ago for my son’s Halloween party! I thought I was so clever but apparently I wasn’t the only one to come up with this!
@StillBusyBaking, you know this is how it's done. You didn't "invent" anything. Clever technique, but accepts that they're not the only one who have done it.
I think it would look more bloody or realistic maybe w some kind of strawberry jam (the smooth kind) carefully spread in a light layer on top. I don’t know shit abt baking cakes this intricate though, so I’m not sure if that’d even be possible to do without ruining the brain pattern🤷♀️ obviously just an idea anyway tho😊 I love the creativity of everyone in these comments, it’s nice to see people just being kind to one another… and sharing their ideas for making some cute cupcakes !🥹❤️ Hope everyone has a nice day 😊👋
Lol I was gonna say the same. I was like it'll be a cute paragraph, maybe 2. But it kept on going! I hate when comments end up having more people complaining about complainers than actual complainers. They show with their social just warrior pitch forks to have a feeling of purpose becuase they don't have anything else to do like the unhinged person on top. At least she can submit that essay for a thesis
my mom has been doing this for years when Halloween comes around so glad to see someone else finally discovered this edit: everyone getting mad tight in the replies so let me clarify, all i was saying was my mom has been doing this, i never said “my mom did it first so she deserves all the credit for this” i was literally js saying she’s been doing it and i thought it was cool to see someone else do it 😭😭 seems unnecessary but js wanted to give some clarification is anyone wanted it idk
Well I still say you’re the one that came up with this bcuz anyone else that’s done it never shared it. That’s the way invention credit works 😂 Those look great and I’ll be sure to copy this trick for Halloween. Thanks
@@asi9ghost no I'm not ok My ex boyfriend broke me very badly because he said he would never leave me but he lied he left me Idk why I'm telling this to a stranger but I am upset I have a new one but I need to get my ex boyfriend out of my head it's killing me
I don't see anyone fighting tbh. I haven't looked too hard, but the comments seem mostly positive. You're always going to get haters, you just have to deal with it. So, there's no need to write 20 paragraphs ranting about the few people writing negative comments. Comes off as way more unhinged and insane than the people claiming ownership of the technique. Pretty disappointed in the creator too, as they are being extremely rude and condescending to people even suggesting that the pinned comment is a little unhinged.
@@neoncat6820you also have to take into consideration that the creator can control comments, so just because you didn’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there, the creator might’ve removed them.
Yes we used to do this at home a lot. Great for all designs you want that flat squished look. We did spiders, brains, eyeballs. One year I made fake lemons on the top of cupcakes. Key is to take it out while frozen and create pits with a toothpick.

@@XNarutoNineTaleFoxX LMAO what is wrong with you? Get a life! I had the eyeball idea written in my notebook with all my Halloween ideas back in July. Go bother someone else
@@StillBusyBakingI'm pretty sure they were joking, because obviously you can't just copy someone's past ideas without knowing it Just what I think, I could be wrong
My mom learned this from a Halloween Martha Stewart magazine over a decade ago 😅 She always made brain cupcakes around Halloween bc my sister and I love strawberry and chocolate flavor.
Haha fair! For some more context: I work in IP and research inventions all day. I did thorough research on this before making that claim. So not just “I haven’t seen it before” but also “I scoured everywhere and did not find it”
@@beefar0ni right, that’s not what I did though. My full time job is in IP and I literally spend my days researching inventions. I know how to do it! This technique isn’t published. I think you may be misunderstanding what I’m claiming here… I’m not saying I invented brain cupcakes. Those are not new in any way. Just this specific technique to make them :)
@@StillBusyBaking Google your "new" idea. Enjoy the thousands of results. My grandma has been doing this since before I was born and it’s taught in culinary institutions. Your hubris is astounding
@@peppermintspider I googled it, I searched it on Pinterest and TikTok and RU-vid, I looked at magazines and news stations… I looked everywhere! This technique is completely new.
@@peppermintspiderSpecifically using a silicone mold and buttercream squiggles for a brain-cupcake and then freezing? You’ve specifically seen that before?
@@StillBusyBaking By a very quick google search I’ve found many articles, the earliest (on the first page) being from 2005. It’s on cakecentral and while I can’t link it (my comment would be automatically deleted) it took zero effort to find it Results might be in a different order but that would not prevent you from finding it.
Start with a straight line. You have a right and left brain separated by a sulcus called the median longitudinal fissure. After the straight line in the middle, them add the squiggles. These look great. I can hardly wait to make for Halloween. I'm thinking of using a greyish lavender. Edit: oh I e e one at the end shows the sulcus. Excellent!
I think I saw something like this in a Halloween edition magazine I had in the early 2000s! :D I used to LOVE reading through those things, but I never really tried baking anything outside of bread and brownies and simple cake loaves. Who knows, maybe this is a sign to try something new! ^^ (Or, not so new, if I can ever find those magazines...)
I’ve actually seen “My Cup cake addiction” do this but she (Elise) preferred the regular pipped on version vs the frozen molded version as it didn’t look as realistic because the mold somewhat squashed the top of the brains down flat as opposed to a puffier version which looks more natural.. just her opinion of course.. I do think either way works.. just depends on what you like more. 🤷🏻♀️
you just have to find 1 little thing wrong huh? but that doesnt matter. They still did the technique before you even if they werent perfect. Keep lying @@StillBusyBaking
@@StillBusyBaking who’s being a bully? you wanna be credited for this little idea so bad. had to fight with someone just because they said they’ve done this before 😂
here because this was shared in a baking blog and all the other bakers are talking about how rude she is in the comment section. Sheeeshhh they werent lying
Wow :( it honestly makes me sad to hear that I’m being discussed behind my back in a group like that. If anyone came here and actually read my comments, they would see I’m not being rude… people are just assigning an aggressive tone to my comments in their own heads that simply isn’t there. ☹️
@@walabang437 shes fighting every person that says its not her idea this has been a thing for a long time I know that even not being in the comunity myself lmao
It’s so wild to me that people read into her comments so much and project their own need of ownership over this technique. She was very clear in the video that she doesn’t claim the brains, just using a silicone half-circle mold upside down + the freezer, and despite tons of people saying they’ve “done it in their kitchen,” and others saying there IS proof online, I see no links, directions to search results that show this technique, or any other proof to suggest that anyone else invented this. And just because she set a boundary for herself (or however she thought of it) that this was something she was willing to stand up for because you’re allowed to claim ideas that don’t come from other people, that are all your own, and are not searchable easily on the internet, she’s rude, entitled, a narcissist, a jerk, you have an attitude, etc? Idk there’s a hint of the smell of sexism there, related to women claiming and taking ownership over something AND even more than that, a woman who isn’t trembling and non-confrontational. I guess I understand the concept of “invent” on legal and practical level that they don’t (my dad was an inventor and worked with Kimberly Clark and 3M and did tons of guest lecturing for PhD students, so I grew up with it and he was very clear with me about what it is and isn’t; my mom is a culinary instructor for mass quantity foods/catering and foreign foods + more) sooooo *I* know that there is legal precedent to catalogue a recipe as copyrighted, but even then, this shit isn’t going into the library of congress (assuming Canada’s similar bureau is the same name? Might be different). Anything that is *within* a recipe - technique (like this), instruction, or step - has no legal claim to copyright or other forms of ownership. What this means, practically, is that anyone who the idea occurs to without outside influence DID invent it. Beyond that level of claim, there is only colloquial use of the term “invention,” and in the wider public eye, online or in print, the first person to PUBLICLY SHARE has claim it the invention of the technique, if it’s not ripped from someone else they saw *do* it. You can argue with her up, down, and all around, but the reality is that she can claim invention all she wants, and if you disagree with her, that could also be true but there’s no ultimate truth on the matter. What I’m seeing in the comments is that she says she invented the technique of using a half round silicone mold, upside down, and freezing it to make the already well established recipe for brain cupcakes. It’s REALLY hard to establish that someone has publicly given that instruction, especially since people are claiming these things were made 30-40 years ago or more. I didn’t realize we had commercially available silicone molds in the 90s! Not in my home. I’m sure she has done thorough research, in my cursory research out of curiosity, I saw nothing of the sort and it was hard to find techniques beyond the ingredient list and the muffin method for this anyway! Now here’s the real point that makes the argument against her and “her attitude” most ridiculous: seeing as this is a public opinion matter and not a legal or governmental patent matter, she can *absolutely* claim that she invented it and be right just on the basis of coming up with it without copying anyone. She is logically being honest, and really did come up with it. She is not obligated to say that everything has been thought of by now and it’s got to have been someone else’s idea. She looked. By saying she invented it, she is not saying no one else thought of it or practiced it before her. She is literally claiming that, as far as she knows, she is the first to have come up with the idea without outside influence and publish and public record of doing so. “I invented this” does not mean, “no one has thought of this before me,” or “it’s impossible that anyone else has a family practice of using this.” It literally means, colloquially and according to policies and practices in baking and in social media, that she thought of it independently and decided to publish it. Also - lest people misunderstood, she clearly mentioned that she’s only talking about the freezing the upside down silicone half circle mold technique and NOT the brain cupcakes. She’s saying she came up with a less messy and easier way to make something that can be difficult to pipe and keep on the cupcake, that’s ALL. Just like that is real, here’s the other thing: she HAS NOT, a SINGLE TIME, claimed that no one thought of this before her, but despite much argument and claim to evidence to the contrary, nothing has appeared. I’ve not seen EVERY comment, but I’ve gone through a lot of them and I don’t see anyone actually providing links (I know they don’t work in comments anymore, but even typing them out), search terms, references to print publications, or other evidence. Again, people have claimed they provided this and then said that she deleted comments, but I can’t find any evidence that that has occurred. Finally, calling people losers for taking time to use RU-vid comments is the height of irony. I don’t think that’s what makes people losers. I think inferring aggression because a woman defended her claim is really fuckin loser behavior, it’s peak sexism and projection. And I think saying the same horrible thing that’s been said 10+ times to a creator that you tag, and then get mad at her for being slightly sarcastic in her exasperation at being constantly called back to this to the same words and claims… that’s loser shit. I disagree that she faultless, but the faults that have occurred have been highly understandable. I don’t think a little sarcasm is the best way to handle argument, but I’d be a LOT more frustrated and perhaps less composed in the same circumstance, so I commend the composure and honestly very polite and direct replies to being called names and awful things over a fucking cupcake. No one, of any sex, owes you deference and politeness when you don’t give them the most basic human dignity. Remember here - this is a real person with a real life, and she has to deal with a barrage of insults because she casually claimed she found a less messy way to make brain cupcakes. Ask yourself, fully and honestly, would you give the same energy to your sister or your mom making the same claim? A close female friend or your girlfriend? If yes, errrrrr yikes those poor women. And if you think that you’d give that energy because of the responses - would you really, IRL? I don’t think so. I don’t think someone chuckling under their breath or being a little sarcastic has the same weight as saying to someone’s face that they’re arrogant and a loser for answering you, or a narcissist or mean and entitled. In those circumstances, a cough or chuckle is just a sign that that person has confidence in themself and feels comfortable that they don’t deserve that reaction, so they’re coping with laughter or a small remark to ease the tension they feel. That is ALSO not something to punish with insults and constant, minute by minute demands that they pay attention (tagging) to your insults. And with that, I bid you all adieu. I will not be checking my notifications, I never really do, so feel free to call me terrible names if you want a public record of that kind of behavior to exist, I guess. I am pretty confident in my stance, and I also don’t have much investment beyond the sexist attitudes I see (oh no, I’m an SJW, I see things that don’t exist and create woman problems because blah blah blah misandrist). It’s my opinion that women have a right to communicate directly and in defense of themselves and not be read the way we see in the comments, and that’s my biggest beef with this comment section and this whole argument. Edit: Small error in grammar (changed were to was)
Thank you for doing this deep dive! I really really appreciate someone taking the time to see things from my point of view, and to share their thoughts in such a well spoken way. You really said it all! Thank-you.

@@StillBusyBakingThere was no suggestion on how to go about handling it. I said that _I_ would unpin the comment because it would reflects poorly on me if I made it clear that THIS is the kind of person I align with. You're catering to someone who yells fire in a crowded room with no evidence of an actual fire. As I said previously, I didn't see one sexist comment and I scrolled and hit every thread. OP is literally creating a problem where there was none. That being said, your views is your views and I'm in no way shape or form defending those who were talking trash or being hateful. I was actually defending you. You know, like a sensible person does. 1 comment has 65k likes. There was no hatred or snarky remark. Yet, you pinned this one. An unusual choice.
Omg! Ive made cupcakes this way before with friends! So fun! I like putting red jelly inside my brain-cupcakes so they ooze, even though its not in the cookbook. I love seeing other people share the recipe! 😁
lmao I literally just read a comment by this creator that says "if someone invents something, but someone else publicly shows it first and gets credit, then the second person actually invented it" LOL. The second person could have literally stolen it from the first person, just because they got official credit doesn't make it correct (NOT saying that's what she did, just saying her arguments are absurd). Does she also think every law is automatically 100% correct and fair and just, JUST because it's a law?? If someone files the patent first (if this was even patentable, which is not) it's correct to say that they patented it, but that doesn't mean they necessarily actually invented it, even though that should be the case if they're above board.
Yes, that’s what I said, because it’s true. I didn’t say it’s completely fair, but it’s how it works. It also wouldn’t be fair to give credit to people who say they did it first if they don’t have evidence because people can easily lie. It’s not a crazy concept that you need to have proof…
@@StillBusyBaking you're wrong. It's not a crazy concept that people do things without documenting them. I'm not saying to give them monetary compensation without proof, I'm saying the universe doesn't rewrite itself to make it so you did it first. I'm done with you, bye
