Oscar night recap

I mentioned yesterday that the Oscars are like a holiday in my house. Let me elaborate...

When I was little, my mom organized a group of friends that goes to see movies, appropriately named, "The Movie Group." This group goes to see as many Oscar movies as possible and then some before the awards each year. Come Oscar time, my mom and I put together a package of things (changes every year) that are Oscar/Nominated movie related and deliver them to the homes of The Movie Group families. 

This year, we made cupcakes -- each cupcake representing a Best Picture nominee

Here's the packages from this year:






Top Left: Slumdog Millionaire (Three Musketeer Bar & chocolate coin)
Top Right: The Reader (Chocolate Book)
Middle: Frost/Nixon (Red, white, & blue frosting with American Flag)
Bottom Left: Milk (Rainbow made of chocolate with white "cloud" frosting)
Bottom Right: Benjamin Button (Buttons made of large Sweet Tarts and white frosting holes)

Popcorn is included every year.
There are only 6 pictured, but we made 9 total packages.
