I just celebrated my 29th birthday. Yes, the real 29, not the the 3rd, 4th or 5th anniversary of it, but thanks for making me feel older than I should. But whatever, I had some excellent cake this weekend - thanks Sig-O. Then today I saw the miracle un-Cupcake at Rush Patissere.
It's basically a miniature cake in a jar, that allows you to get the perfect bite every time. AKA, none of the crappy just dry cake bites. The cake is hollowed out so that frosting (or other fillings) can be put inside, as well as on top of the cake. The result? Perfect bite after perfect bite with frosting, filling and cake living in harmony on the miniature spoon that comes tied on each Un-Cupcake jar.
The other benefit with Rush's diabolical creation is that you can eat just a few bites and save the rest for later. You simply screw the lid back on the jar, which keeps it surprisingly fresh, unlike even the prettiest little cardboard box.
The Un-Cupcake comes in eight signature flavors, including Wedding Cake; Chocolate Ganache; Lemon Crunch; Caramel Coconut & Cream Cheese; S'mores; Red Velvet; Strawberries & Cream; and Caramel Macchiato, which comes with mocha flavored chocolates in the shape of coffee beans sprinkled on top. Check it out.

Your Seis De Mayo Plans
Seis De Mayo, the often forgotten due to hangovers from Cinco de Mayo day following Cinco de Mayo. It's a time to relax and drink water in a softly/dimly lit room while you nurse your hangover. Well, glad you did that all day b/c by the time 5 p.m. rolls around, it's time to party with the masters.
Kenichi’s hosting a party full of fantastic sake, sourced from all over Japan via the collection of Dallas’s only level II sake master. You wouldn’t celebrate Seis de Mayo any other way.
May 6, 5-8pm, $40, Kenichi, 2400 Victory Park Ln, 214-871-8883

If Margaritas Aren't Your Speed
You're slow. Freaking slow, but you might actually be in luck. If you're more of a wino than a tequila shot kind of gal/guy, I'm suggesting you head over to Winetastic tonight for the Ferrari -Carano tasting. For only $10, you'll get to try a number of their fantatic wines. Still not convinced to stop by? How about 20 percent off of Ferrari-Carano wines tonight.
There's nothing like celebrating Cinco De Mayo with California wine. Hey, some of that soil was probably from Mexico.
And don't whine about the parking, it's easy and underground, just the same as Glorias. Sounds like a good place to start your evening. Because margaritas are great wine chasers.
