I know the majority of you love cupcakes, but now I'm wondering how you feel about cupcakes with human faces on them — and not just any faces, but the vampire and werewolf from the upcoming New Moon. These cupcakes are currently on sale at the Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in New Jersey. Personally, I prefer cupcakes with a simple, smooth, and creamy frosting, but if I had to choose, I would pick a Team Jacob cupcake.

In recent years, stemless wine glasses have really seemed to gain traction in the marketplace, and the leading stemless wine glass maker, Riedel, even releases limited-edition versions of its wildly popular stemless styles.
But yesterday, San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Michael Bauer questioned the functionality of stemless wine glasses, pointing out that wine poured in stemless wine glasses measured three degrees warmer than the same wine poured in a stemmed glass — a significant difference in temperature when it comes to the enjoyment of wine.

Most of you prefer crispy bacon to its chewy counterpart — but how about bacon in candle form instead?
Rather than oh-so-predictable bacon vodka and bacon chocolate, Rick Gresh, the chef at David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago, is serving guests bacon candles. The votives are made of rendered bacon fat and a vegetable-based wick, and as they melt, are poured over dry-aged steaks and rare scallops to impart a rich, smoked aroma.

For Halloween, Pepsi released a special limited-edition costumed can. Instead of the typical jack-o'-lanterns or orange and black theme, however, the soda company simply printed Halloween-related words like boo and ghost on the cans. Have you seen them in stores?

My latest cocktail experiment left me wondering how you felt about creepy Halloween cocktails. I settled on the eyeball highball because it seemed to be the right amount of unsettling without appearing over-the-top gruesome. I love a little eeriness, although I think certain drinks, like bloody brain shooters, border on repulsive.

On Thursday, Bravo announced a second season of Top Chef Masters. When I heard the news, I had mixed feelings. While I'm a huge fan of Top Chef, the first season of Masters seemed to drag on.

Since I require a weekly fix of tart frozen yogurt with fresh fruit, it wasn't until last week when I taste-tested Häagen-Dazs's new tart natural fro-yo that I discovered a whole contingent of co-workers can't stand the taste. What do you think of it?

Recently Neiman Marcus released its annual Christmas book, and the Internet food world was abuzz because of one item: the cupcake car.
We got another look at these crazy cars, which are $25,000 each, a couple of days ago when Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb drove them around on the Today Show.
I think they are incredibly absurd and wonder who would ever buy one.
