This cake stand is sooo fun and cute! Made from old vinyl records, this DIY is easy and inexpensive to put together. We have a few friends who will be getting a pretty cool birthday gift this year. Of course accompanied but some fresh out of the oven Krispy Kreme! Follow these steps to create your own vinyl dessert stand!

Check out Bubby and Bean  for more detail and other great projects!

What you need:

1 – 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record

1 – 78 rpm vinyl record

1 – 45 rpm vinyl record (plus adapter)

3 – cake stand rods (2 middle, 1 top)

1 – screw

1 – metal washer

4 – self stick felt pads

7 – felt washers

Instructions:

- Attach 4 self-stick felt pads,  evenly spaced on the bottom of the 33 1/3 rpm record.

- Place one metal washer onto the screw post, followed by one felt washer.  Put the screw though the hole of the 33 1/3 rpm record from the bottom up so that the felt washer is closest to the bottom of the record.

- Place another felt washer over the screw so it’s touching the top side of the record, and screw on one of the cake stand rods.

- Place another felt washer on the screw post of the cake stand rod, and slide the 78 rpm record onto the post.  Top this with another felt washer and screw on another of the cake stand rods.

- Repeat with the 45 rpm record and top with a felt washer.

- Screw in the top cake stand rod.

Breakfast, duhh! And we found a healthy, easy recipe for you to try out from the awesome food blog For The Love Of Cooking.

Ingredients:

These cupcakes are too awesome not to share! Too bad they’re located “across the pond”.

Rihanna has added a new tattoo to her collection of at least 14 tattoos, already made up of  stars on her back, “shhh…” on her finger, and a skull tattoo on her ankle.

This time, the Talk That Talk singer inked herself with a tattoo familiar to the rap community.  “Thug Life” is now permanently placed on her knuckles as a tribute to the late rapper Tupac who had the same phrase tattooed on his stomach. Thug Life is also the name of a music group Tupac started back in 1993.

Looking at the picture of Rihanna displaying her new ink, we can’t help but find it funny that she is wearing a t-shirt with the face of The Beatles member John Lennon on it. Not exactly what one would considered to be very “Thug”!

This is the type of sound that has us wishing it was summer.  Wanting to roll down the windows and head west towards the beach with this Hospitality soundtrack playing in the background.

Up until 30 minutes ago, hospitality was a warm beverage, snack, and place to rest our head.  But that’s all changed after listening to these two tracks form the band Hospitality.  With their soon to be released (1/31) first album, under Merge Records, Hospitality has already won our hearts and place on our iPod.   We hope you enjoy the sound of this trio of talent out of Brooklyn as much as we do!

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of being introduced to this delicious hazelnut, milk, and cocoa Italian spread, today is your day! Scrumptious right out of the jar or spread on a piece of toast, it’s no wonder Italian’s eat it like us in the US eat peanut butter.  Here is a yummy and super simple recipe, found at hellogiggles.com, to try out using this hazelnutty spread.

Ingredients:
- pizza dough
- Nutella
- powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven based on dough instructions

2. Roll out pizza dough and cut into squares

3. Place a dollop of Nutella into the center of half of the squares

4. Place plain squares on top of the squares with Nutella. Press down along the edges of the square

5. Place in oven and remove once squares are a light brown

6. Dust with powerdered sugar and let cool

7. Enjoy (maybe with some ice cream on the side!)
