Inception-inspired Oscar cupcakes with absinthe

From The Daily News Online:

New York pastry chef Martin Howard was inspired by Inception when he created the "Treat within a Treat" cupcake. Where the film excites fans with a dream within a dream scenario, Martin created a devil's food cupcake that is filled with butter cream. The filling is concealed by a topping of chocolate ganache.

"I added my own twist on the traditional butter cream with a hint of Lucid absinthe to add an extra layer of flavor, and, of course, as a nod to the film's lucid dreams," he says.

Oh my, Oscar cupcakes, in instagram format.

"Oscar cupcakes" by shalin1. (Not sure who made them.) Anyone have any sure picks for the Oscars? Sadly, I don't think I've seen a single movie up for an award this year. Too busy cupcaking, I suppose.
