The Super Bowl is less than two weeks away. Now I know that most of you probably eat, in accordance with tradition, nothing but cupcakes that day. But hear me out: buffalo chicken wings. I know that it sounds crazy, but try it. Even if it’s as a compromise recipe, like this cupcake by Stef of The Cupcake Project.

Buffalo wings and cupcakes. Like haggis and this tube of expired cookie dough that I found behind Alex’s desk, they just naturally belong together.

So let’s say that you’re a college sophomore and you want to eat a balanced diet from all of the three major college sophomore food groups: Mountain Dew, Doritos, and snack cakes. The problem is that it takes time to acquire and store all three of those items. The solution is to eat a cupcake that combines all three food products! The bakery 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Orlando, Florida has you covered. It also offers Coke and Ruffles cupcakes and Cheerwine cupcakes. Coming soon: Nehi grape soda cupcakes!

It’s understandable why the Wonder Twins are absent. But no Marvin and Wendy? They were, like, the backbone of the show. Still, Ray, a Geeks Are Sexy reader, got a pretty good birthday cake.

When followers tried to download the 67-page colour magazine, instead of instructions about how to “Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom” by “The AQ Chef” they were greeted with garbled computer code.

The code, which had been inserted into the original magazine by the British intelligence hackers, was actually a web page of recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America” published by the Ellen DeGeneres chat show.

Written by Dulcy Israel and produced by Main Street Cupcakes in Hudson, Ohio, it said “the little cupcake is big again” adding: “Self-contained and satisfying, it summons memories of childhood even as it’s updated for today’s sweet-toothed hipsters.”

It included a recipe for the Mojito Cupcake – “made of white rum cake and draped in vanilla buttercream”- and the Rocky Road Cupcake – “warning: sugar rush ahead!”

The efforts are ongoing, as the cupcake recipes were quickly replaced and the magazine has since been distributed with its original content. Read more at the Daily Telegraph. Link

We often post about inventive cakes and cupcakes, especially those made with other delicious foods inside, such as Oreos and Cadbury Creme Eggs. Now it’s no longer necessary to scrounge around for such confections. Thanks to the specializing tendency of the Internet, there’s a blog devoted entirely to baking foods inside cakes and cupcakes. Pictured above is on example from Bake It in a Cake — a banana cupcake with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup inside and topped with chocolate buttercream and chocolate chips.

Melissa Smith of Zoey Cakes has made what may be the ultimate Cadbury Creme Egg creation. It’s baked with an egg inside, covered with vanilla buttercream frosting, and then topped with a mini egg.

The great thing about cupcakes is, well, everything. But it turns out that they can be improved upon.

Just push the bottom up.

Debbie Wright invented this culinary delight. The batter and frosting are both made of oreos, and there’s an oreo resting at the bottom of the cake. Finally, it’s topped with a mini oreo.

My sister hosts a big game party every year, mostly non-video games (word games, board games etc.) This year she made 100 cupcakes, each with a decoration referring to a game, video and otherwise. Have a go at guessing them all! (keep your own score manually)

This periodic table of cupcakes is for a chemistry nerd’s birthday party. Each cake is labeled with an element and color-coded by its state of matter. I hear hydrogen and helium are very light and fluffy. Looks like someone already ate ununseptium. Link -via reddit

Love iced cream cones but hate the iced cream? Then you’ll love these Cupcake cones on Instructables with plenty of instructions (naturally) to make your own sweettreats at home.

Sweet lovers like myself will love this brilliant concept on The Cupcake Project blog. It’s an Oreo cupcake with Oreo frosting, topped with home-made Oreos and served with a glass of milk built inside. This ingenious dessert marvel is made possible with the help of those delightful chocolate liqour cups. I totally want to make these myself, if you do as well, let me know how they turn out.

How do you make the Klaus Teuber’s maddeningly fun boardgame Settlers of Catan even more enjoyable? Play it with cupcakes!

"What is Cupcakes of Catan?" you ask.

Well, my friend, Cupcakes of Catan is a a totally edible, fully functioning, utterly playable, all vegan, mostly organic, completely cupcake version of the original boardgame, Settlers of Catan. If you’ve never seen or played Settlers of Catan, this whole operation may seem mystifying. In fact, even if you have played Settlers you may be confused by this all-cupcake version of the game. Why would anyone create such a thing? Let me tell you:

One: Cupcakes are fun.

Two: Settlers of Catan is fun.

Three: CupcakesxSettlers of Catan=more fun.

Flickr user QuintanaRoo (Emilie of The Conscious Kitchen) and friends set this up an entry for the Catan Food Contest. Though they didn’t win (Whaaat? How can that be?) this concept is too yummy not to post here on Neatorama: Link – via Wonderland
