I had so much fun watching the Oscars and making these “red carpet” cupcakes. I did not make the red velvet cupcakes from scratch, but used a can of Sprinkles red velvet mix I received as a gift. Since Sprinkles is becoming the Celebrity cupcake of choice, it fit the occasion. The frosting was made with creme cheese and I wanted to highlight the color red in the cupcakes, so I used only a light amount of frosting in my best star design. My daughter helped me make the movie poster picks. We visited different websites and found movie posters, printed them out, cut and glued to card stock. We then used wooden picks and fastened with clear tape. The red carpet was made from some red ribbon I had in the closet. I hope you enjoy the pictures. My daughter’s movie to win was Up but I have to say Up in the Air and Avatar were my picks.

The Oscar awards are tomorrow night and I will be making cupcakes for the Academy Award nominees. If you are having a party at your house or even just one friend, bake some cupcakes and decorate them for the Oscars. While you are watching the celebs walk the red carpet, you can bake up your favorite cupcake recipe and have a decorating competition with your friends.
Some Oscar night cupcake ideas:
1. You can print pictures of your favorite actors and then cut them out for cupcake toppers.
2. Create a mini Oscar out of fondant.
3. Decorate cupcakes using themes from your favorite Oscar nominated film. Airplanes for Up in the air or footballs for The blind side.
4. Get your kids involved in baking and use bright colored fruit roll ups. Create the red carpet from strawberry fruit roll ups. Decorate cupcakes using themes from the movie Up. Bright balloons can be made out of fondant or frosting.
I will be posting my Oscar cupcakes tomorrow and would love for you to share your cupcake pictures too.
