Red gut, White paint, Red Velvet cake


Red velvet is one of the more popular flavors at Cupcakes Gourmet, a Philadelphia-based cupcake store. So popular that the bakery is releasing a new version of the treat just in time for Valentine's Day.

The Sparkling Red Velvet Cupcake is now available for $55,000.

While some luxe desserts call for edible gold leaf, white truffles or another expensive ingredient that restaurants use to create astronomically priced food items, Cupcakes Gourmet merely sticks an 8 carat engagement ring from Warwick Jewelers in the frosting.

It suits the store's slogan, 'Love Tastes Like This.'"

I'm so hood


Bill Belichick's lucky hoodie has become a long standing New England tradition (and superstition). As plain it may be, the gray hoodie is definitely a good luck piece. I am reminded that the Pats fell to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII when the Belli switched up his wardrobe and went with a red hoodie instead of the traditional gray version.

And as we get pumped up for a Super Sequel with the Giants, one fan decided to use the famous wardrobe selection as inspiration for baking. This Belichick hoodie cupcake was recently posted on the New England Patriots Facebook fan page.

I bet it tastes like victory.

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing


Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes? My head is going to explode.

At first I thought this was crazy but after reading about CupcakeProject's recipe....I thought: maybe not so bad? CupcakeProject's recipe includes hot sauce and blue cheese in the cake (which is similar to corn bread) and a blue cheese buttercream frosting.

Garnish with a buffalo wing!
