This red velvet "cupcake" is a cake that serves 8, made in a giant cupcake mold.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cookies, Cakes & Pastries
Ridiculously Huge Red Velvet Cupcake
A Party Cake Recipe Sure To Please
Or Use The Recipe For Individual Red Velvet Cupcakes
If you've ever said, "Supersize me," you may want to head to Chicago's Bull & Bear. Executive Chef David Blonsky knows how to put special touches on his dishes, and he knows that his customers like to end their meal with panache. Forget about mignardises—he's invented the petit gateau maximus, a.k.a. the Ridiculously Huge Red Velvet Cupcake. It joins the Ridiculously Huge Chocolate Chip cookie on the menu (and it cost $25.00 with a 20 minute prep time—the cookie is a mere $8.00). On an entire menu of beguiling comfort foods, it's the only item that warns, "limited stock." Better reserve yours in advance!
Made from scratch, the classic Red Velvet Cake recipe has cream cheese icing and a surprise strawberry compote in the center. Made in a jumbo cupcake mold, this "cupcake" is an actual cake that feeds the whole table—and the people at the next table, if you want to get to know them. If you eat it at a restaurant, you'll need a doggie bag. But if you're having a party, there may not be a crumb left!
To make the jumbo cupcake, you'll need to buy Wilton's Giant Cupcake Pan, a top-and-bottom oversized cupcake pan with a 10-cup capacity. The giant cupcake measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches. You'll be able to use it for many other recipes as well. You could become known as the Giant Cupcake Cake Maven in your circle. You also can make the same recipe as 24 regular cupcakes.
Cream Cheese Frosting
If you are making the jumbo cupcake, make the (bracketed) amounts as you'll need more for filling between the two layers (see photo above). You can make this in advance, but you'll need to bring the frosting to room temperature and then beat smooth again before using.

Pancreatic cysts are sac-like pockets of fluid on or within your pancreas. The pancreas is a large organ located behind the stomach. It produces hormones and enzymes that help digest food.
Most pancreatic cysts aren't cancerous, and many don't cause symptoms. In fact, many pancreatic cysts technically aren't cysts at all. Called pseudocysts, these noncancerous (benign) pockets of fluids are lined with scar or inflammatory tissue, not the type of cells found in true cysts.
But some pancreatic cysts can be cancerous. Your doctor may want to take a sample of the pancreatic cyst fluid to determine if cancer cells are present.
Sometimes, your doctor may not be able to tell whether a cyst may become cancerous. Your doctor may recommend monitoring the cyst over time for changes in size or shape that may suggest the need to remove it surgically. Some cysts have a low potential for becoming cancerous, and your doctor may recommend watching them carefully.
You may not experience any symptoms from pancreatic cysts, including pseudocysts. Pancreatic cysts are often found when imaging tests of the stomach area (abdomen) are done for another reason.
When signs or symptoms of pancreatic cysts do occur, they typically include:
Cysts can become infected, though this is rare. See a doctor if you are feverish and have persistent abdominal pain.
A ruptured pseudocyst is a medical emergency. Fluid released by the pseudocyst can damage nearby blood vessels and cause massive bleeding. A ruptured pseudocyst can also cause infection of the abdominal cavity (peritonitis). Seek emergency medical treatment if you have signs or symptoms of internal bleeding and shock, including:
The cause of pancreatic cysts is often unknown. Cancerous cysts can be caused by genetic mutations. Some cysts are associated with rare illnesses including von Hippel-Lindau disease, a genetic disorder that can affect the pancreas and other organs.
Pseudocysts often follow a bout of pancreatitis, a painful condition in which digestive enzymes become prematurely active and irritate the pancreas. Pseudocysts can also result from injury to the abdomen, such as from a car accident.
Heavy alcohol use and gallstones are risk factors for pancreatitis, and pancreatitis is a risk factor for pseudocysts — the most common type of pancreatic cyst. Abdominal injury is also a risk factor for pseudocysts.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
In addition to the questions that you've prepared in advance, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions about your symptoms, such as:
Pancreatic cysts are diagnosed more often than in the past because improved imaging technology finds them more readily. Many pancreatic cysts are found during abdominal scans for other problems.
The biggest challenge during diagnosis is determining whether the pancreatic cyst is cancerous. These procedures are often used to help with diagnosis and to help plan treatment:
The characteristics and location of the pancreatic cyst, along with your age and sex, can help doctors pinpoint the type of cyst you have:
Treatment depends on the type of cyst you have and whether it is causing symptoms.
A benign pseudocyst, even a large one, can be left alone as long as it isn't bothering you. Serous cystadenoma rarely becomes cancerous, so it also can be left alone unless it causes symptoms or grows.
But all pancreatic cysts should be monitored. Cysts smaller than 10 millimeters (0.39 inches) can be imaged with CT scan after one year, and then less frequently if they remain stable. Cysts larger than 10 millimeters usually require regular endoscopic ultrasound to look for worrisome features.
A pseudocyst that is causing bothersome symptoms or growing larger may be drained. A small flexible tube (endoscope) is passed through your mouth to your stomach and small intestine. The endoscope is equipped with a needle to drain the cyst.
Surgery may be needed to remove an enlarged pseudocyst or a serous cystadenoma that's causing pain or other symptoms. Other types of pancreatic cysts generally require surgical removal because of the risk of cancer.
A pseudocyst may recur if you have ongoing pancreatitis.
The best way to avoid pseudocysts is to avoid pancreatitis, which is usually caused by gallstones or heavy use of alcohol. If gallstones are triggering pancreatitis, you may need to have your gallbladder removed. If your pancreatitis is due to alcohol use, abstaining from alcohol can reduce your risk.

I recently saw a marbleized nail technique on Pinterest and was so inspired to try it. After several attempts I finally got the nail technique down and decided to do something more unique with it. Taking the glass ornaments that I purchased from Michael's Craft Supply, I created a water marble ornament. You can check out my video tutorials on how to marbleize an ornament and how to water marble nails.
For more simple unique crafts please visit me at http://thecheesethief.com/
Step 1:
1 glass ornament
2 bottles of nail polish
1 vase/cup (large enough to fit half the ornament, but not too big) filled half way with filtered tap water
I used Orly French White and OPI All Lacquered Up for these images. These nail polish brands seem to work the best for this technique. Do experiment with different nail polishes as all of them do not work the same for this.
1. Prepare your workspace. Place a towel or newspaper underneath for easier cleanup.
2. First shake both bottles of nail polish so the nail polish is nicely mixed.
3. Unscrew the tops of both bottles. This will help you work fast.
4. Drip one color of the nail polish into the cup of water.
5. Drip the other color into the water and keep alternating. (It is ok if the tip of the nail brush touches the water, but it is better if you can get a big glob to drip off the wand and drop onto the surface of the water.)
6. Working quickly alternate for 4-6 times. If you are just starting off I would start with 4 -5 drips or rings. When you get better you can do more.
7. Taking a toothpick start from the center of the nail polish and pull outwards to make a pattern.
8. It is easier to work from the inside out because the inside nail polish was just dripped so it is still wet.
Once you get the pattern you want dip your ornament in slowly for 10 seconds. Remove and let dry ( i put it on top of a smaller cup).
the important thing is the nail polish type - you cant do this with most.
Hope you like it! Happy Holidays!!!
Very nice job on both the nails and the ornaments. Reminds me of marbleing on paper. Pretty.
Great idea using the lip balm to protect your finger!!
but where did u get the dotter tool

Yeah, I never seen that coming. Man that FTA was crazy.
Yeah, I never seen that coming. Man that FTA was crazy.
I think in its 4th season, this series has caught its second wind. Back to the modern-day equivalent of Shakesperean multi-layered cross and conflicting allegiances, betrayals, double dealing, love, hate, and (my favorite genre) revenge... with a healthy dollop of violence interspersed. For me, now that CYE has ended its season, SOS is back to being the best show on TV, (and surprisingly not on a premium network either).
Usually after the 2nd or 3rd season of a show, there's writer fatigue; they run out of novel story lines and become more predictable I feared the Irish plot last season was somewhat contrived and essentially an excuse to take a breather. Well, whether there's an infusion of new writers or the time out was rejuvenating, after 3 episodes, SOS is back with a vengeance... and I'm back to a "can't wait til next week's episode" mindset. Well done!
Oh, and Peggy Bundy is looking every bit the GILF this season too.
This is one of my favorite shows. NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX need to start taking a few lessons from not only the movie channels but AMC and FX, which I suppose could be considered FOX, because they know how to do a show the right way and the big four mostly air a bunch of garbage that gets canceled pretty fast these days.
just got into it, not as good as breaking bad but its up there
Started watching a few weeks ago and Im hooked. Its just behind Breaking Bad and Dexter for me. Top notch show.
Don't read if you're not current with the show! (and don't reply specifically either)
SpoilerIs dirtbag Clay gonna wack Tara for self-preservation?
SpoilerThat fuggin weasel Clay.. between Jax, Opie, Bobby, and even Gemma if Tara gets hit, I can't see him making it into next season
SpoilerZero chance. IMO Tara is gonna get got next episode. I know Jax is going with her, but I think if the hitman tries to kill her and fails, Tara will tell Jax everything leading to Clay having to die the next episode, which is too early. Thats gonna be the finale. What I think will happen is Tara gets whacked and then either Gemma, Uncer or both turn on Clay after thinking about it and tell him an episode or two down the line. Jax then tells Opie the truth about Piney. They both kill Clay. No way he makes it past the season finale.

Today, the Test game is geared towards World Cup success, but which teams have stepped up to the plate on rugby's biggest stage?
While New Zealand have lifted the Webb Ellis Cup twice - both times on home soil - they are often accused of peaking at the wrong time, and "choking" when the global tournament rolls around every four years.
France have never won a World Cup, yet have reached the final on three occasions, and often prove the Kiwis' nemesis.
And what of England, South Africa and Australia, who may not dominate the global scene in the same omnipotent fashion as the blacks, but still succeed when the chips are down and the rugby world is watching?
Our friends at Bleacher Report have put together a definitive ranking for the top 20 teams at the World Cup.

Chevy Volt Dramatically Outsold Nissan Leaf in December 2010
General Motors and Nissan both made good on their promises to deliver mass-produced electric cars with the debuts of the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf this year. Sales for both have been small so far due to limited production and availability, but December numbers reveal that the hybrid plug-in Volt outsold the battery-powered Leaf by a factor of 16 to 1.
After the Associate Press reported that GM sold between 250 and 350 Volts last month, the company tweeted that the official number was 326. Meanwhile, Nissan sold less than twenty Leafs. Production volumes for both vehicles will continue to increase over the coming months, and by mid-year, they'll be available nationwide. But if you're interested in buying one, put your name on the list now — it's already 50,000 people long.
Catch up on our extensive coverage of the development and debut of both models, and let us know which one you like best!

Both numbers and timeframe WAY too small to be meaningful. Volt is going to get a boost from fleet sales, but in a few years we'll know which one of these two sells better. It's the rare $33K car (if any) that outsells a $25K car, simple as that.
January 6, 2011 at 7:57 am
Might the reason the Volt sell so well is simply because it looks so much more like an ordinary car. The Leaf looks more like that cute, conceptual stuff that we always see in Japan. Ironically both vehicles will be assembled in the US. And the Leaf doesn't have the great PR campaign of it's competitor. Unlike Tesla these are the only 2 vehicles that seem within reach to workaday folk.

Well, the title of this article may be true – but only serves as an example of how statistics can lie.
Since the supply of one item was completely constrained and was not in the other, the number sold is irrelevant as a determination of popularity as this article seems to imply.

Teresa and Joe Giudice (Vallery Jean/FilmMagic)
In a 39-count indictment filed Monday by U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman, the Giudices, of Towaco, New Jersey, have been accused of exaggerating their income while applying for loans and then hiding improving fortunes after filing for bankruptcy. The counts include conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and making false statements on loan applications.
The alleged fraudulent mortgage and loan applications are for the years 2001 through 2008. Joe, 43, has been charged with not filing tax returns for 2004 through 2008 (a period during which he allegedly earned $1 million), while Teresa, 41, has been accused of lying about her employment when applying for a mortgage loan in 2001, as well as submitting fake W-2 forms and pay stubs.
A full list of the charges has been posted online by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
If convicted, the married couple faces the possibility of spending many years behind bars. According to Fishman's office, the conspiracy of mail and wire fraud count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, the bank and loan application fraud counts each carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine, the bankruptcy fraud counts each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and the failure to file a tax return carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine for each year missed
"The indictment returned today alleges the Giudices lied to the bankruptcy court, to the IRS and to a number of banks," Fishman said in a statement. "Everyone has an obligation to tell the truth when dealing with the courts, paying their taxes and applying for loans or mortgages. That's reality."
The Giudices filed a petition for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in 2009. According to the U.S. Attorney office's statement, "The indictment alleges that the Giudices intentionally concealed businesses they owned, income they received from a rental property, and Teresa Giudice's true income from the television show 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' website sales, and personal and magazine appearances."
The defendants are scheduled to make their initial court appearances on Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark, NJ, federal court.
Teresa is represented by New Jersey-based lawyer Henry E. Klingeman, who issued the following statement over the indictment, "Teresa will plead 'not guilty.' The judicial process that begins today ... is a search for the truth. As it moves forward, we look forward to vindicating her."
Giudice's lawyer also released the following statement on behalf of his client: "Today is a most difficult day for our family. I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me. I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the Government as quickly as possible."
A rep for Bravo, the NBC Universal network that airs the "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," has "no comment."
Now this seems like something really worth flipping a table over!
