Valentine's Day cupcakes offer $55,000 diamond rings... while Pizza Hut offers own ring combo

Sweet surprise: Cupcakes Gourmet in Philadelphia is offering red velvet cupcakes decorated in 8-carat diamond rings valued at $55,000

If 'dipping it in yogurt and covering it in chocolate buttons' is far too sweet of a proposal, what about a diamond ring topped on some red velvet?
A bakery in Pennsylvania is offering cupcakes decorated in eight carat engagement rings this Valentine's Day, delicately fitting each cake's whipped icing with a surprising diamond sparkler.
The bakers say there's no better way to showcase their store's motto, 'love tastes like this,' than this diamond-topped treat.

Rich: The cupcakes made by the local shop range from a half a carat to 8 with the Valentine's Day deal offering a 15% discount on the rings from Warwick Jewelers

'What could be sweeter than asking your special someone to marry you than with a red velvet cupcake?' Maki Garcia-Evans, Cupcakes Gourmet owner and executive pastry chef told KSLA-TV. The dazzling bobble provided by Pennsylvania-based Warwick Jewelers is offering the rings at a 15 per cent discount when sold through the bakery's Valentine's day offer.
'We wanted to do a statement piece that when people see it they would say, 'wow, I can't believe this is a $55,000 beautiful ring,' Warwick Jewelers' marketing manager Brittany Burkland told KSLA.
Ms Burland reasons no sweeter way to pop the question.

Variety: Pizza Hut is offering their own proposal package not just offering a pizza and breadstick meal with a ruby diamond ring but fireworks, a limo, and professional photographers

'What I love most about it is when people eat them and they just feel loved you know,' Ms Garcia-Evans said, 'and that's what it's really all about.'
With no two women being the same, Pizza Hut is also offering their own Valentine's Day engagement promotion of a $10,010 dinner box with their own provided ring and meal.
The proposal package features a red ruby ring, limousine service, flowers, personal fireworks show, photographer and videographer, as well as a $10 pizza, breadsticks and cinnamon sticks dinner box.
As a courtesy-safety net to buyers provided by the pizza chain, if the package is not used before March 31 of this year, they say they'll refund the entire cost.
The packages are limited to one per person.

Devastation: Singer Ray J leaves the Beverly Hilton Hotel with his head in his hands after visiting the body of his former girlfriend Whitney Houston who was found dead in her bathtub

Whitney Houston's daughter was released in the early evening after she was taken to hospital just hours after her mother was found dead in a hotel bathroom.
Bobbi Kristina, 18, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center just after midnight Saturday night, and then again around 10.30am Sunday morning. She was treated and released Sunday night, with reports that she was dealing with massive anxiety after the death of her mother.
Her initial trip to the hospital came after learning of the devastating news, when the teenager had consumed alcoholic drinks and was then given a sedative to calm her down by one of her mother's entourage. She ended up passing out, according to Radaronline.

Bobbi Kristina was then rushed out of the Beverly Hilton hotel on a stretcher again at around 10.30am this morning. She was reportedly suffering from anxiety.
It comes as the first picture emerged today of Whitney Houston's on-off boyfriend Ray-J leaving the hotel with his head in his hands, completely distraught.

Miss Houston drowned alone in a bathtub having accidentally overdosed on a cocktail of prescription drugs and alcohol after two back-to-back evenings of out-of-control binges, it has been claimed.
The star was found dead under the water by her bodyguard in a luxury hotel suite said to have been littered with bottles of prescription pills. She was 48.
Ray-J mentioned 'missed calls' from Miss Houston, according to the International Business Times, adding: 'We all gotta live with that.'
Paramedics battled to revive the singer but she was pronounced dead at 3.55pm yesterday afternoon, hours before she had been due to perform at a pre-Grammys party at the Beverly Hills Hilton in LA.

At first it was thought that Ray-J had found Miss Houston's body but a statement was later released by his spokesman saying 'he was nowhere near the scene but no less distraught'.
According to reports on gather.com moments before the news broke, Ray-J was seen trying to console Bobbi Kristina, who was screaming, in the lobby of the hotel.
The singer/reality TV star and Whitney Houston dated between 2007 and 2009 but it was believed they had recently picked up their romance after being spotted at an LA restaurant.
Ray-J, 17 years younger than Miss Houston, is the youngest brother of the singer Brandy and made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian in 2003 which was reportedly 'leaked' on to the Internet.

Bottles of Lorazepam, Valium, Xanax and a sleeping medication were found in the hotel room, it has been claimed. The drugs were believed to have acted as sedatives, causing her to fall asleep in the bathtub once they had been mixed with alcohol from the previous evenings.
An autopsy is to be carried out today, according to TMZ, but the results will be delayed as toxicology tests must also be run.
As police look into the possibility that the star died from an accidental overdose, there are expected to be emotional scenes at the Grammy awards tonight with many of the singers inspired by Miss Houston dedicating their awards to her.
Miss Houston had battled ravaging addictions to crack cocaine over the years but the drug is not believed to have played a part in her death. Police searched the room for illegal substances after discovering the body.
