Jennifer Aniston’s consolation ‘Cake’ is just as delicious as winning an Oscar

The Oscars are this Sunday, and they’re going to occupy your life for the whole evening. If you’re having guests over to party or you’re heading over to watch someone else’s TV, it’s important to get the snacks and dinner in order. No one wants to be pulled away from any of the awards, so we’ve compiled an Oscar-worthy menu inspired by the likes of Marion Cotillard (Best Actress nominee, Two Days, One Night), The Grand Budapest Hotel (Best Picture nominee), Julianne Moore in Still Alice (Best Actress nominee) and more. We even have a cake recipe for Jennifer Aniston, who sadly did not get nominated for her leading role in, um, Cake. So not only will you have a tasty menu, but it will be so on theme you’ll win all of the hosting awards. Check out the 10 drinks and dishes you can prepare in advance so you can bring home your own Oscar gold:
