Breaking Bad Tout

Baking requires chemistry and so does, well, Walter White's drug production on the hit TV show, Breaking Bad. These cupcakes mimic the blue color of his infamous crystal meth, so try "baking" bad tonight with Over the Moon Cupcakes.

Parks & Recreation

Coffee Waffles

Parks & Recreation Tout

On Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope is fueled by coffee and sugar. Her love of waffles is no secret, so we thought Coffee Waffles would be a perfect tribute to Amy Poehler's comedy genius. Serve with maple syrup for breakfast or add a scoop of ice cream and caramel sauce for a fun Knope-approved dessert.

House of Cards

House of Cards Tout

How is it that every time we think of Freddy's fictional BBQ joint our mouth immediately waters? Try redirecting your Frank Underwood-induced nervous energy to a plate of juicy ribs during the next House of Cards binge. You can continue to pace around the living room when your plate is clear.

Downton Abbey

If you thought the stately home was impressive, check out Kate Mitchell's take on the estate, made entirely out of gingerbread... and 100 candy glass windows. It's ok to drool around this showstopper, just try to avoid getting your drool on hand-dyed melted candy trees.

Mad Men Tout

Don would certainly appreciate a good cocktail, though we're not sure he could wait the month it takes to age it. Trust us, it's worth it.

Orange Is The New Black

Orange Is The New Black Tout

"All I wanted was to eat the chicken that was smarter than all the other chickens to absorb its power. And to make a nice Kiev." Sigh. We hear you, Red. As you dream about what to do with that elusive chicken, consider stuffing it. A dead chicken tells no tales.
