Walk of Fame Brownies

Pay homage to your favorite stars and movies of the night with Walk of Fame brownies. Dipped in chocolate and painted with gold dust, these glamorous brownies are right on theme.

Gold Rimmed Cocktails

Whether you’re serving champagne, martinis or mixed cocktails, dress up your drinks Oscar style with gold rimming sugar. Deliciously sweet, these sugar crystals add a special sparkle to your party.

Oscar-Worthy Candy Bar

For the candy loving movie goers, set up an Oscar-worthy candy bar for them to visit during commercial breaks. Go with a gold theme or choose a few of your favorites. Display in apothecary jars with mini scoopers.

Star Skewers

Win points for flavor and presentation by serving up bite-sized appetizers topped with star skewers instead of regular toothpicks. Perfect for cocktail weiners, buffalo chicken bites or bacon-wrapped dates.

Oscar Statue Sugar Cookies

Set aside some time before the big night to make these impressive Oscar statue sugar cookies. For bonus points, print out small accompanying signs to represent the different awards given throughout the evening.
