These cringe-worthy pimple popping cupcakes are apparently a thing

Pimple popping videos have been going viral since Sandra Lee – aka Dr Pimple Popper – started sharing videos of the strangely captivating, yet disgusting extraction process on social media.

Skin squeezing has taken the internet by storm, and now a bakery has jumped on the popping bandwagon.

That's right. California-based bakery Blessed by Baking has created gooey, pimple popping cupcakes.

The cupcake’s icing looks like inflamed skin with a pus-filled ‘pimple’ in the centre.

The strangely edible cakes are so realistic, we were practically turned off cake - for good!

Before eating you need to squeeze the icing gently and voila, out pops the pimple (made from bright yellow custard or sweet lemon curd, just FYI).

They look gross (especially after the extraction) but apparently they’re delicious.

We’re not so sure…

Dr Pimple Popper, Sandra Lee, shared a photo and video of the cupcakes to her Instagram account.

She captioned the image with, “How can something so pus-like taste so good!?!? Pimple cupcakes by the amazing Blessed by Baking.”

On her video she wrote, “Made with popping love.”

The bakery posted their own photo of the cupcakes and captioned the image with, “When you work for Dr Pimple Popper and she asks for cupcakes you gotta do it.”

We’re still not convinced that we could stomach pus-filled baked goods…

What do you think? Too gross to eat?
