When it comes to food, I'm the kind of person who will try anything once! Fun fact: the weirdest thing I ever ate were deep fried bees. (And before you ask, they didn't taste like much.) Anyway, like most people, I love fried food and probably rival Homer Simpson in donut consumption. So when I stumbled upon the Giant Donut Cake Pan Set from Williams Sonoma, my heart skipped a beat. From afar, this delectable treat may look like a giant donut, but cut into it and you'll see that it's a cake! The non-stick cake pan set comes with two molds you can customize with your favorite cake flavors (try a ha;f/half combo with chocolate and vanilla). Let the cakes cool, put them together with your favorite filling and then add toppings like a fudge frosting with sprinkles or a lemon creme glaze. It's sure to be a hit at your next party!

Price: $19.95
Who Found It: facadeindreams was the first to add the Giant Donut Cake Pan Set to the Hive.

Mad For Plaid: The Iconic Pattern Takes Over Home Decor!

by Anna Yu
Jan 14, 2010 8:28 AM PST

Did you know that plaid is a Scottish word meaning "blanket?" Of course, the term usually refers to the iconic patterned woolen cloth, but it's been making a huge comeback. Whether it's the down and dirty grunge look or classically prim and proper, plaid can fit a variety of styles. Going back to plaid's homey roots, I've gathered some of the best plaid home accessories out there. Anthropologie may be known for their girly dresses and shoes, but I love looking at their hardware section to update the pulls on my dresser drawers. I'm getting more than a few Red Brockhampton Knobs since they're also heavily discounted! For a thoroughly modern take on the tradition plaid blanket, check out the Missoni Home Kuala Throw Blanket. Take a look at my slideshow to see more plaid home picks!
