The cupcake you see here will be sold at the Eat Your Heart Out 2013 pop-up cake shop in London, England, open October 25-27. Food artists will be offering the world's most gruesome and delicious treats. These cupcakes are made by Twisted Fondant, a macabre division of Fantasy Fondant. What makes them so gruesome?

The name of these cupcakes is Mango Fly Larvae Removal cupcakes. Miss Cakehead calls them DIY Maggot Extraction cupcakes. They are served with a glove and a pair of tweezers so you can do the deed. Just keep reminding yourself that no matter what it looks like, this is all delicious cake and edible icing.

Gently pull that maggot out. Gently! You don't want it to tear apart!

It's almost out.

What a relief! The maggot is edible. Really.

Don't forget to squeeze out the pus. It's mango-flavored!

The Eat Your Heart Out 2013 cake shop food exhibition and sale will be October 25-27th. Macabre Liqueur Chocolates will also be offered at the event. Read more at Miss Cakehead's site.
