If you still haven't figured it out, the Awkward Baker is a tad bit of a dork. I eat geek-eroni for lunch and spaz-ghetti for dinner. (Also, I drink wine with all of the above...which explains the terrible puns). I'm quite familiar with all things Battlestar Gallactica and I'm a die hard Jacob fan. (I shall someday sculpt those abs out of No Bake Nutella Cheesecake .) It should come as no surprise to you that I am also a ginormous Hunger Games fanatic.(Peeta...if only I could smother you in butter cream icing and set you gently on top of a Cadbury Creme Cupcake...) Ahem...Sorry about that. I had an unfortunate "run in" with a very slow moving automatic door earlier this week and I still haven't quite regained full "Awkward Baker" composure yet. Seriously though, why do they take so long to open??? A girl is just bustling about, high heels and sharp Spring dress, head held high and brand new "fancy undies" in tote. The last thing on her mind is the speed of the self opening door!!!! Of course I would get the "special" door and end up flat faced and bruised! It didn't help that I belted out my signature "donkey bray laugh" and then dropped the bag of lacey undergarments all over the muddy floor and had to retrieve them whilst maintaining a small shred of dignity.
So back to my Random Act of Hunger Games Awkwardness. Much like a sheltered pre-teen in the throes of a Justin Bieber concert, I have an awful tendency of becoming a tad bit...overexcited when one of my nerdy books becomes a movie. Let's just say that my mind is excruciatingly lazy and I get sick of picturing all of my fave characters as stick people with bad hair. My most awkward moment came from a "theme party" gone wrong. I can only assume that when I wrote "Hunger Games Theme Party" on the Facebook e-vite that my intelligent friends (and their friends etc) would (despite my lack of clarification due to the door smacking incident) get my drift and come in character. Nope. I was the only one rocking a Katniss style braid down to my buttocks, sweet brown "gently used" hunting jacket and a set of (incredibly sharp..ouch!) arrows . Theme party fail.
I've compiled a list of other awkward "Hunger Games" moments that could possibly arise in the next few weeks...
-Your sister asks if you would volunteer as tribute for her if the Hunger Games ever became a reality. *awkward silence ensues*
-It's a gorgeous sunny day and you are cruising around, windows down, tunes blaring with your homies in tow. Awkwardness ensues as Rues Song comes on....for the 6th time...and you accidentally fist pump and yell "This is totally my JAM!!"
-You start giving the three fingered wave to everyone...(Three fingers to the lips then into the air)
-You begin to refer to yourself in the third person adding "The Girl on Fire". The Awkward Baker...Girl on Fire... (actually, there was this one unfortunate incident with a creme brule torch and a bottle of whiskey....)
-You find yourself belting out "The Capital!!" when someone asks where your dream vacation is.
I know there are readers out there who are feeling me with this Awkward thing, so leave a comment! Let me know I'm not alone and give me your own Awkward Hunger Games moment!!!

It's Friday, and let me tell you that the Awkward Baker needs a drink. I assume that you are all with me here, as I just made you read about my dorky obsessions. I had so much fun making Homemade Baileys on Valentines Day that I thought I would research other DIY drinks! I came across this fabulous, easy recipe for Kahlua!!!! How much fun would it be to roll up to your "Hunger Games" theme party rocking your own Kahlua for Mudslides? No one would even notice that you are dressed up! I found this recipe on one of my favourite sites, The Cupcake Project and it turned out AMAZING! I'm half in the bag now and I haven't even BEGUN to mix drinks yet!
What you Need:
- 6 cups of your favourite brewed coffee (7 if you need one for yourself after a long day!)
- 1 pound light brown sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons Vanilla
- 1/2 litre of vodka...sweet glorious vodka!!!! I sure do love you!!! (oops, took a shot or two for myself!!)

- While the coffee is still hot, mix in the brown sugar.
- Let it cool
- Mix in vanilla and vodka. (Do the running man to burn off calories that you will be soon be consuming...also because it's fun and looks hot)
- Serve it up! Alone over ice, ice cream topper, mudslides, wet dreams, screaming orgasms (yep, they're real!) or add it to your baking for an extra oomph! Cookies, icing and pudding would be DELIGHTFUL!!!!
