Buffalo Wing Cupcakes are a Sweet and Spicy Superbowl Treat

Bizarre buffalo wing cupcakes from the Cupcake Project are a sweet and spicy Superbowl treat.  Your two favorite Superbowl snacks: cupcakes and buffalo wings have come together in a synergy of American football flavors.  Admittedly, I haven't tried these daring cupcakes with blue cheese frosting but the blogger says that she created a new "crowd-pleasing Superbowl tradition."  So give it a go this season and tell me what you think.
