Red Carpet Fabulous

The Academy Awards are on Sunday.  I had been thinking about making a different cookie to represent each of the Best Picture nominations (like a key, Hawaiian shirt, paint palette…) but I ran out of time.  That being said I wanted to make these award cookies for a really long time, but it took me a while to find the perfect cookie cutter (and I wish I could remember where I got it…).  Then Bakerella make these perfect stand up awards, so ever my inspiration, I needed to try these 3D cookies.

I think they came out "Red Carpet fabulous".   Plus, you can hold them up and say "You like me, you really, really like me" -- and who wouldn't like a sweet sugar cookie?

My favorite one is “Best Cookie” – I wonder why?

And the Oscar Goes To...

...ticket sugar cookies and popcorn brownies.  Oscar parties are becoming so popular.  It is fun to have the your menu reflect the nominated films or movie theme in general.  So in that spirit, I made sugar cookies that look like old fashion movie tickets and put the names of all the nominated best picture films AND brownies decorated like popcorn bags (using a standard vanilla buttercream, red sprinkles for the stripes and mini marshmallows (white and yellow) as well as popcorn flavored jelly belly beans for the popcorn).


I know lots of people fill out Oscar ballots at their parties -- I somehow came across this very cool Oscar Bingo which is a very fun idea to keep guests entertained (other than commenting on the dresses and jewels).  


And the Oscar goes to... eating lots of popcorn (my favorite), cookies and brownies and having a red carpet time with whoever you choose.
