Twilight Trilogy - The "Pre" Party

Remember when I received Edward in the mail?

Misty and I planned a little party

before we started

the 6 hour movie marathon to see

Twilight, New Moon &

Eclipse

Check out our "black" carpet sprinkled with roses

Edward is waiting...

We prepared a "make your own mini pizza" bar

with a caesar salad

Nothing like eating roasted garlic

before a 6 hour movie marathan

with 8 of your closest friends

These glasses were dipped in blood

(mixture of karo syrup & red food coloring)

Twilight Bloody Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

with vanilla ice cream topped with blood

(just kidding - it's raspberry)

Of course these wines

were bought

(at Central Market)

for their names

Red was just ok

but

 First Love was very good

This is a dark red champagne

It was yummy

Misty put these 6 hour movie survival bags together

(can you see the 5 hour energy drink in there? it really worked)

The movies were great!

I've seen Twilight 4 times now. 

I've seen New Moon twice

Eclipse was awesome

Now off to plan the Breaking Dawn party...

...Part 1

Twilight Bloody Cupcakes

 Made chocolate cupcakes using this recipe

Added a scoop or two of Blue Bell Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Topped with Raspberry Sauce

I used jam for testing purposes,

but plan to use

the raspberry sauce from here  

for our pre-Twilight Party

next Tuesday

I got the idea to put them in a martini glass

from the Match Maker episode

of one of my new favorite

Food Network shows

Cupcake Wars
