thank you for the heads up--i did not click

i had already freaked myself out looking for the opposite of the cute skeleton gingerbread men

i found this horrible skeleton thing--aghhh!!

but so there are two very different sides of this thing huh

this is cute-ish https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxqLPAA50Ui4rxurSWSlynsfvzoAKn0b4vRchrdrjPZ4iYGBu3-g

There is a very good bakery in my area called Evil Treats, and they have successfully cornered the market on all things creepy. Their stuff is amazing and very different - like bloody eye cupcakes, dirt, worms, etc. it's a very specific niche but they do it to perfection. 

OK, I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE the name and logo! I think it's right on trend and you can always re-brand in a few years; people do it all the time. DO IT, USE IT!

 YES!

it's not off putting in the least it's adorable

in fact while it gathers the kid/mom market it's a distance from wedding cake seekers

but wedding cake seekers will be drawn by your actions more than your exact logo anyhow

i like it--it's bright and brilliant--unique and clever imo

to be perfectly honest

i am not a zombie expert/lover not even a little

this logo would not evoke any kind of zombie-esque thought in my brain

<vwooopff>

that's the logo going right over my head ;) in a good way--

Sorry, maybe I'm the only one, but I'd never go there just because of that logo.  It's not cute, it IS zombie-esque, and you are limiting your clientelle.  If there is a large "zombie-following" in your area (wow), then it might work for you.  I guess everyone fills a niche.  I just don't think there's a cute way to do zombie cupcakes (why are ZOMBIE and CUTE even in the same sentence???), but that's just my opinion - it may work for you in your town. 

so what is up with all the Zombie loving stuff? Is it stemming from people being fans of that tv show that's on? Or is this just having the  mentality/ maturity level of a 13 year old boy?

I did do a cake class last fall and a girl who was next to me said something like she loved to make zombie-esqe things and how she wished zombies were real and everywhere in life.  my first thought was how incredibly immature she was and didn't think or process thoughts before she spoke. By the way, she was about 20.

Again, pairing evil, death and human eating zombies with cupcakes and such- it sort of makes me laugh because it's just ridiculous to me. Sorry I just do not understand the appeal at all. It's not appetizing to me either. JMO!

The way I see it, is many, many, many of the people who "like" zombies (not all, no offense) are hipsters in chartreuse skinny jeans, with their underwear hanging out, crotch of the pants at mid-thigh, a white stained V-neck undershirt, with an ugly sweater, scraggly pubic-esque hair growing from their chins, zits, dirty hair, and a horrible filthy beanie hanging off their heads. And they are just too cool for words...with their murses (man-purse). Bleack! I wouldn't go in there because I don't want to rub elbows with them...
