Stay Alive with These Hunger Games Treats

maxresdefault (1)

As you probably know, The Hunger Games does devote quite a bit of attention toward food. This is especially since food is necessary for survival and much of the districts live in some degrees of poverty that they risk starvation. Katniss and Gale also hunt for food to feed their families (since their dads both dies in a mine explosion) as well while Peeta is a baker’s son and bakes like his old man and brothers. And it was Peeta who gave Katniss two loaves of burnt bread that restored her will to live before the series begins. And when she goes to the Capitol, she tends to devote significant detail to what’s on the buffet. Since the Hunger Games has a big fanbase, it’s not surprising that fans have their own Hunger Games food for their themed parties. Yeah, since the premise revolves around dystopian society sending teenagers to fight to the death on live television, it’s pretty disturbing. Even more so if it pertains to Hunger Games themed weddings. Seriously, just because the movie revolves around a love story, doesn’t mean you should have it as a theme for your wedding. Then again, we’ve been raised in a society that treats William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Wuthering Heights as a couple of the greatest love stories of all time. Still, you have to admire how people are so creative when it pertains to treats, especially if they’re fans of a franchise. Some may be disturbing while some might be quite cute and appropriate. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a glimpse of some of the great Hunger Games treats out there.

  1. Increase your odds of survival with this silver parachute cake.
As you might know, silver parachutes send sponsor gifts to tributes in the Hunger Games to help them survive. Peeta's confessing his love for Katniss was very instrumental at getting these.

2. If you liked the fire dress transformation sequence in Catching Fire, then you’ll like this cake.

When Miss Havisham's wedding dress catches fire, she dies. When Katniss Everdeen's

When Miss Havisham’s wedding dress catches fire, she dies. When Katniss Everdeen’s “wedding” dress is on fire, she’s the Mockingjay.

3. Revisit the Victory Tour events in Catching Fire with a cake of Seneca Crane hung in effigy.

Effigy or no effigy, this is pretty fucked up. I mean seriously, why would anyone want a cake like this?

4. Celebrate the Hunger Games with a box of Capitol chocolates.

Wonder if they're like a regular box of chocolates. If so, then hope there's a box on which ones contain stuff that I might want to avoid.

5. At your Hunger Games party, grace your table with this Katniss Mockingjay cake.

Let's just say after Katniss spreads her mockingjay wings, things won't be good for Cinna. Still, it's a beautiful cake.

Now these are from the images you see on all 3 books. Of course is a Mockingjay which Katniss is associated with.

7. You heard about Katniss being “the Girl on Fire” but have you ever saw fire in cupcakes?

Now this isn't real fire but it's due to the magic of food coloring. If it was touched by real flames, it would be burnt to a crisp.

8. Nothing shows the Hunger Games spirit of the Capitol than tracker jacker nest cookies.

Let's just say tracker jackers are genetically enhanced wasps that can either kill you or mess you up for life. Note what Katniss did to Glimmer.

9. Treat yourself this season to some Hunger Games apple pie.

Of course, this probably was made by a repressed art major. Well, from at least what I could tell from the crust.

How can I tell this is for the Hunger Games? Well, it has flowers and tracker jackers on it. Thanksgiving cornucopias have neither.

12. Ensnare your guests’ appetites with these Catching Fire cupcakes.

Now these consist of burning dress, bronze Mockingjay, monarch butterfly, Peeta's locket, white block, and a white rose with blood. You can guess what they mean by the symbolism.

13. Represent each Hunger Games district with these cupcakes.

Now these cupcakes make it more apparent on which one is which. Too bad District 12 just gets black icing.

14. Shoot your way to victory with these Hunger Games arrow cookies.

Strange for a post-apocalyptic tale, plenty have been killed with these. Then again, tributes aren't allowed guns in the arena.

15. At your Hunger Games, it’s best that your side dish be of Peeta’s burnt raisin nut bread.

No, that's not a cooking disaster. That's how it's supposed to look like. Yeah, I know it's ridiculous.

19. Be the ultimate fan with this flaming Hunger Games cake.

I hope this isn't a wedding cake. I mean there's just something about celebrating your love by theming your wedding on a series centered on teenagers killing each other on live TV that makes me cringe.

20. Like Effie Trinket? Then you’ll love these cupcakes of all her hairstyles.

Of course, knowing how Effie changes hairstyles like people change socks, you knew this had to happen. Of course, some of your relatives might not get the reference.

21. If you like the tributes from District 2, then you’ll certainly love Clove’s cupcakes.

It helps that her cupcakes have knives in them, which is her weapon MO. Still, she shouldn't have taunted Katniss about Rue's death while trying to kill her.

22. If you like Finnick, then take a bite out of some District 4 bread.

33. Grace your Hunger Games party with this Nightlock Berry pie.

Yeah, I know this is a blueberry pie. But still, nightlock is deadly poisonous that Katniss and Peeta threatened to kill themselves with it. Think about it.

Now this is a 10 ft high cake of Katniss. It's not something I'd recommend anyone to make. But since it's associated with the Hunger Games, it's going in.

46. Have a healthy Hunger Games lunch with this bento lunch.

51. Grace your Hunger Games dessert platter with this nightlock berry cake.

Okay, so basically this is a cake that seems to glamorize teen suicide. Or teenagers possibly having little knowledge of wilderness survival skills, like in Foxface's situation.

52. Remember with this cake, the odds just might be in your favor.

Because true love is making a suicide pact with poison berries so you don't have to kill your boyfriend. Or the guy who everyone thinks is your boyfriend.

57. Nothing shows your love for the Hunger Games or each other than this wedding cake.

For God's sake, the Hunger Games is one of the most inappropriate wedding themes ever since it revolves around a teenage death match. Seriously, it's something that would appall Katniss, Peeta, and all their Victor friends.

Of course, in the books, they were in way worse shape in the cave scenes. And yes, it's fairly apparent that Katniss was faking it. Or was she? You can't be sure.
