Marinas Menu: Game of Thrones Themed Desserts by REYNOLDS

Fans are excited for "Game of Thrones" to return on Sunday. And Reynolds has created three desserts inspired by the show that you can easily recreate at home. No matter which House you're rooting for, everyone will fight for a taste of these Foil-Throne Cupcakes, Dragon Egg Cookies and Ice Wall Cake. We have the recipes and instructions. They are easy to whip together using Reynolds tin foil and parchment paper to make your viewing party a real "Game of Thrones" happening.

Foil Throne Cupcakes

What you'll need:

-Chocolate cupcakes

-Reynolds Wrap foil

-10 toothpicks (various sizes work best)

How-to:

1. Start by cutting eleven 3"x1" foil rectangles

2. Take one toothpick and one foil rectangle and wrap it around the toothpick so only one half of the toothpick is wrapped in foil

3. Once wrapped, mold the top of the foil to a point shape to resemble a sword tip

4. Using another piece of foil, cut one ¼" rectangles and wrap around the ending point of the foil on each toothpick to resemble the guard of a sword

5. Repeat with ten total toothpicks and arrange the wrapped toothpicks in the top of a cupcake

Dragon Egg Cookies

What you'll need:

-Sugar cookie dough

-Sliced almonds

-Icing

-Food coloring

How-to:

1. Cut egg-shaped cookies from sugar cookie dough and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet

2. Place 1/2 cup of sliced almonds in a zip-top plastic bag. Add 7-8 drops of liquid food coloring and shake until almonds are colored. Repeat with additional colors if desired.

3. Transfer almonds to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread out. Bake for 6-8 minutes to lock in the color

4. Mix 3-4 drops of food coloring into white icing-the color of the icing should match the almond slices

5. Frost each cookie, then transfer colored almonds onto the cookies in a scale-like pattern

Ice Wall Cake

What you'll need:

-Sugar-glass (directions below)

-4 rectangle shaped cakes

-White frosting

How-to:

-Cut each baked cake in half to create two long horizontal cakes

-Stack each cake on top of each other at a slight stagger, use icing in between each layer as a glue

-Frost the cake, leaving bigger chunks of frosting towards the edges

-Crack the sugar glass and apply pieces on top of the frosting

For the Sugar Glass Ice Wall

What you'll need:

-3 cups sugar

-1 1/2 cup water

-1/2 cup corn syrup

How-to make the Sugar Glass:

1. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. Set aside.

2. Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a medium heavy bottom saucepan.

3. Cook the sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches hard crack stage, 300F, about 40 to 45 minutes.

4. Remove from heat immediately and pour sugar mixture into the prepared pan. Tilt the pan to spread the sugar into a thin layer. Let set until completely cool, about 30 minutes.

5. Use the back of a metal spoon to crack sugar glass into small pieces.
