You know those crazy people who show up at midnight openings of movies in costume?
I'm one of them.
Last night was the opening of The Hunger Games. I loved the books. Survivor meets Lord of the Flies.
A group of us got together in costume a full Capitol makeup thanks to a very talented make-up artist friend. We also had a lovely meal of Hunger Games inspired foods!
Fish shaped cheese biscuits representing District 4.
Each arrow had a quote from the book! So Creative!
For my contribution for the evening I made Angel Food Cake filled with Nutella and topped with "Nightlock." Recipe is at the bottom of this post!
After eating, I was able to get all Effie'd Up.
Leelee dressed at Katniss. She had the scowl down really well. I got props from random teens who shouted they loved my costume! I even had people ask for pictures. It was by far the best costume for a midnight showing I've done. There were lots of kids dressed at Katniss and Peeta, but I was the only Effie!
Nutella Filled Angel Food Cup Cake with "Nightlock"
1 Angel Food Cake prepared according to package directions and baked into cupcakes
1 jar Nutella
1 package frozen berries, defrosted, reserving juices
With a serrated knife, cut each cupcake though the middle giving a top and bottom. Spread 1-2 Tablespoons of Nutella between the layers of cake.
Arrange berries on top of cake. One large strawberry and two-three smaller blueberries or blackberries. Spoon 2 spoonfuls of the juice from the defrosted berries on top of each cake.

Absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad you had fun -- a great memory to share with your daughter. I've been squeamish about HG (reading it or watching it) but I think I'll give it a shot.
