Sugared Cinema: Alice in Wonderland

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things:  Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—of cabbages—and kings." 

And a hookah-smoking, monacle'd caterpillar voiced by smooth, velvety Alan Rickman.

I loooooove Alan Rickman.

("We get it."  That's what all of my friends are saying in unison right now.)

That being said...Alice in Wonderland comes out today!  Are you excited?  Have you been waiting 7 months for this day, too?!  Are you leaping out of your knickers?!  Rhetorical questions?!

In honor of this momentous day, here is a tribute to Tim Burton's take on the classic's characters using (what else?)

...cupcakes.

  

Off with her head.

  

 

A special day calls for special cupcakes.

Special cupcakes call for special beer.

You didn't think the Mad Hatter drank tea at his party, did you? 

The Hatter was a hop head.

 Last but not least, I have some loot to hand out!

Thanks to everyone who entered my first giveaway.  I really appreciate all of the friends and family who have taken the time to stop by and hope that you've gotten a little something in return, whether it be a new recipe, a chuckle or, in this case, free goods.

You guys make me feel fuzzy like my legs in the wintertime.  

The winner is Comment #4!

Oh man just one?
When I was a kid : Beetlejuice!
When I grew up: Big Fish

Congratulations Jaimie!  You've won yourself a $25 Fandango gift card, just in time for the weekend.  Enjoy!

I love Beetlejuice (I actually have a Zagnut in the cupboard at home) and Edward Scissorhands always triggers my deep-seated craving for ambrosia salad and makes me want to get a waterbed.

But if I had to pick one?

"What may I do for you today, sir? A stylish trimming of the hair? A soothing skin massage? Sit, sir, sit."

"You see, sir, a man infatuate with love, her ardent and eager slave. So fetch the pomade and pumice stone and lend me a more seductive tone, a sprinkling perhaps of French cologne, but first, sir, I think... a shave."

"The closest I ever gave."

Todd.  Sweeney Todd.
