Dexter Premier :):)

So, I've been down and out for about the past week.... very sudden wisdom tooth extraction that I was in no way, shape, or form ready to encounter. Pretty much everything that could go wrong with the extraction...did.

Alas, I am still under strict instruction to consume only soft foods. This can become rather inconvenient as cottage cheese....ice cream....and soup become rather boring after the first few days. See, I love food...all kinds; and I'm running out of soft foods to try. I suppose I could attempt mixing them all in a blender, but, I'm not too sure how that would pan out. :)

Anyway... as some of you may know (since we talked about him in an in class exercise a couple weeks ago) that Season 5 of Dexter premiered last night... I'm a new fan of the show, and watched the first 4 seasons on DVD.....so I was very excited to watch the new season in suspense along with the rest of the Dexter fan-base. In honor of the premier, I wanted to have a big party and invite all my Dexter loving friends over. BUT, I was still pretty weak, and wasn't much fun, so I decided against it. Nevertheless, my lively spirit could not be dampened and I decided a little quiet baking wasn't going to hurt too bad....plus, cupcakes are a soft food...right?

Those of you who enjoy the show will understand the meaning... for those of you who don't I'll just give a quick synopses. Dexter is a blood spatter analysis for the Miami PD by day...and a serial killer by night. Don't worry though...he only kills those who slip through the justice system (usually :) ). He wraps them up in plastic wrap, and gives them a quick and painless death, plus, they deserve it, so we never feel bad for his victims.

So.....

I baked red velvet cupcakes, frosted them white, and splattered them with red food coloring.....only after I wrapped a pan in plastic wrap of course! So here you have it ladies and gentleman.... Samantha's red velvet blood spattered Dexter season 5 premier cupcakes!!! :




<----All ready to bake!

<------I'd be caught red handed :)

  2. Such a great idea, Sam! I enjoy that you wrapped the pan in plastic wrap.

    How'd you like the first episode? Did it make you cry? (I did)!
