There is something about the purchase of a new book that never fails to make me smile. (Well, as long as it isn’t for school…and even then, they aren’t ALL bad.) The feel of fresh pages, still crisp, the smell of the ink…it is something I will never grow tired of. It’s a jump into world’s unknown and different times and two years ago when I picked up The Hunger Games for the first time it was an instant catapult into a world that would not let me go. It was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so thankful that it was.
Despite my initial concern about the brutality of the story I figured I would give it a try. The next thing I knew I was closing the first book completely finished and on my way to the store to pick up the other books in the series. I finished all three books in two days because I simply could not put them down.
And then they made the movie. (And they did a superb job with it!)
With the movie I decided that it was time for Hunger Games inspired cupcakes. A friend of mine on Twitter suggested a “Nightlock” cupcake and I ran with it.
But I wanted to do more than just my basic blueberry cupcake recipe and I wanted to tie in more aspects of the book and movie and that is how these cupcakes generated into being.
