Work Potluck Week Five: Pop Music Guilty Pleasures

This week, we made dishes based on our favorite pop music stars and/or their music.

I made a lemonade based on Lady Gaga and specifically the music video for Poker Face.  I made lemonade from scratch and dyed it blue. The completely edible garnish is supposed to resemble Lady Gaga's face. It did not come out as well as I wanted, but the resemblance was there so I won't complain too much. Pineapple hair, cantaloupe face, lemon peel lightning bolt, and blue raspberry rock candy stone on the lightning bolt.


Prototype and planning:



Baked beans: inspired by Tim McGraw's Something Like That. Fortunately, none of us got BBQ stains on our shirts.

Corn and black bean quesadillas: inspired by Nicki Minaj's Beez in the Trap. The yellow corn and black beans represent the bees, and the tortilla and cheese represent the trap.

Depression era cake: inspired by Jay Z's Hard Knock Life. The cake batter contained no butter, which was scarce and expensive back in the day.

Creamy purple cabbage salad with raspberries: inspired by Prince's Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain, and Cream
