I would credit the artist who created the original cupcake if I knew who he or she was. Identify yourself, pastry genius.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.

Identify Yourself, Pastry Genius
I found an image of a cupcake in the shape of Jabba the Hutt and decided to make a clay version. I think it came out more like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, which is very unfortunate. Hopefully once it's painted, it will more obviously resemble a Hutt. It also looks more like a muffin than a cupcake, bringing new meaning to the Aerosmith lyric "You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on the muffin."
I would credit the artist who created the original cupcake if I knew who he or she was. Identify yourself, pastry genius.
