You can do something like this,

 <Border Background="Red" Style="{StaticResource TitleBorder}" Width="38" Margin="0,0,5,0">
                <TextBlock Text="City "  Height="19" Width="26" />
 </Border>

put this style in Application.Resources

<Style x:Key="TitleBorder" TargetType="Border">
    <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="10"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="3"/>
    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,5,0"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange"></Setter>
    <Setter Property="Grid.Column" Value="0"/>
</Style>

you can use Expression blend to customize your textblock. Right click on your project and open in blend and there you can make your textblock in your desire shape. you can see the example of custom button in this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613598(v=vs.110).aspx . in which they use rectangle and made it to button
