"IceCreamCones" news and stories

If you're the sort of green-thinking cook who inwardly kvetches every time you toss out a paper cupcake wrapper or piece of plastic wrap, this is the video for you. In it, former StyleList blogger turned culinary vlogger Brigitte Dale dons a flowery apron to create "cupcones" -- cupcakes in cones, minus the "trash" of the wrapper -- with a sort of wide-eyed, pixielike zen: "If you know me, you know that I love cupcakes, and I love the Earth."

One part full-color, one part black-and-white film, this is notable both for its star's posturing and the sharp, cinematic edits. Randomly, it reminded us to click on over to check on a far more nutty food video star -- Thu Tran, whose "Food Party," we learned, has just been picked up by IFC. Congrats to Tran and her team of crazy bandits on the Willy Wonkian, Peewee's Playhousian show. The madness starts June 9.
