Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Throwing an Oscar party? Need a party activity to keep guests entertained during all the boring awards? How about a movie-themed cupcake decorating contest? For this idea, I'm taking a page from my friends Jamie and Sarah's playbook: For their Super Bowl party, they mixed up buttercream icing tinted with Steelers and Cardinals colors, and during halftime we festooned delicious chocolate cupcakes with helmets, logos, and footballs. Some particularly artistic examples are pictured.
This idea would translate easily to an Oscar party. Options abound: you could ice one with an Oscar statuette, or you could decorate one with a best- or worst-dressed star. Give Mickey Rourke a facelift! Better yet, take inspiration from the movies nominated. Make sure to mix up black icing for the nuns' habits in Doubt (not to mention Richard Nixon's suit). Gooey icing should allow for an evocative interpretation of Two Face in The Dark Knight. And even though the Academy didn't give it the props many think it deserved, Wall-E ought to inspire some stellar cupcake art. One tip I learned from Jamie and Sarah: provide toothpicks for the fine detail work, like getting the Joker's makeup to bleed into his facial creases just so. And then eat up!
