The Super Bowl fast approaches. So you’re gonna need some cupcakes cooked inside eggshells made to look like footballs. It’s simple —  just empty out some eggshells, dye them to look like footballs, fill them with batter and bake.

The football cupcakes are brought to us by Stefani Pollack of the Cupcake Project, and should be a hit with everyone at your Super Bowl party. Even the people just there for the commercials.

Le Nid, A Nest-Themed Sky Bar in France

High above the city of Nantes in western France, is perhaps one of the most interesting and thematic sky bars in the world. Le Nid (The Nest) was created by graphic artist Jean Jullien, and is exactly what the title implies. Located at the Tour de Bretagne, the bar is occupied by an enormous stork/heron, who keeps a watchful eye over the city, and its “nest” of eggs.

And while the space is meant to be fully-functional and interactive, part of the large bird becomes the actual bar, and its eggs are the tables and chairs. Le Nid is open to the public, so it’s not only a great place to relax and grab a drink 144m over the city, but it also becomes a very high art installation.
