Oozy Blood Cupcakes with Knife
There's nothing worse than missing a show that you're totally into. The Walking Dead is that one for me. I plan to watch it each Sunday night, but sometimes my plans go south. Last month I told you that I was checking out Contour by Cox and today, I'm going to tell you just how I'll never be missing my favorite show again! Can I get a whoo hoo to that? There's nothing worse than not being able to keep up with a T.V. series, just because you're busy! I am a member of Everywhere Society and a Cox Communications’ brand ambassador reviewing Contour by Cox. Everywhere and Cox Communications have provided me with compensation and a 6-month trial of Contour in exchange for my coverage of this product. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own.
Let's do a quick recap. So far we've learned that Contour lets you watch personalized TV at home, online or from your iPad. Make sure to read up on even more details about the Contour by Cox App in my last post. In short, it's a great way to get a personalized experience just for you! From recommendations on what to watch next and the capability to record shows, they've got us covered.
I spent some time getting to know the app and using it's functions. I love that I can create my own profile and that other members in my home can do the same. We can all have our own unique personalized experience because let's face it, we're not all into the same things. They definitely have nailed "TV Just For Me". One of the things that I did on the app was select and add favorites to my profile. I chose AMC and Food Network to start out. Now, I can easily watch these channels LIVE right from my iPad if I want to!
Just as a precaution, I've already set the current season of The Walking Dead to record with the DVR as well. By the way, you can record up to 6 shows at the same time and store up to 1000! So, there is no way I'm missing an episode! But, since this show typically re-runs before the new one airs, I can also play catch up live if I want. Boy do I love options!
Now, you know it just wouldn't be me to not have special treats to eat while watching my favorite shows! So, in honor of Contour by Cox and my favorite show, here are some easy to make goodies. Eat them watching your show live or your previously recorded shows! The best part is that you can essentially watch your favorite episodes on YOUR time!
The Walking Dead Cupcakes
1 Box Cake Mix of choice – Prepared as directed for 12 cupcakes.
2 Containers White Frosting
2 Tubes Wilton Red Sparkle Gel
12 Candy/Fondant Knives
After baking, I used my Wilton Dessert Decorator with a star tip to frost the cupcakes. You can frost them any way you want. Insert the candy knives into the top of each cupcake. Carefully drizzle the Sparkle Gel so that it looks like it's oozing out of the knife. Gruesome, but delicious!
What a neat app! I'd definitely add AMC (for Walking Dead, of course) and Bravo!. Those cupcakes look super cute by the way!
I love your themed Walking Dead cupcakes, too cute. I hate it when I forget to record a show and I'm out of town or won't be home to record it until after it's over. This is a great app and service.
no cox here in CT, but i'll have to let my parents know about this service back in RI. And, I think me and the husband are the only 2 people who haven't seen this show. Gasp!
You can record six at a time? I thought my four was good, but six is way better. Love the cupcakes!
I love your Walking Dead cupcakes!!! It's my FAVORITE SHOW by the way!! Did you LOVE the last episode??? And cool app too!
Eeek I love EVERY episode, LOL! This season is off to a seriously amazing start. I am completely and utterly hooked all over again! 😉
If Cox was available in my area i would add HBO ,Space and A&E to my favorites list. Those cupcakes look great.
Walking dead for sure and Once Upon a Time too - love this, I'll have to get it. How great are those cupcakes too, love them!
We don't have Cox in our area, but this service sounds so amazing. I love that you can do so much from their app! And your cupcake totally crack me up. I'm a Walking Dead fan, too!
The Cox Countour sounds like an amazing app. I don't think we have Cox in Canada, but I'm going to check anyway!
Those cupcakes are too cute! ...well, maybe cute isn't the right word? Scary? Anyway, well done! I think they're great!
I loved last night's episode of The Walking Dead! If my are had Cox, I'd definitely use this service.
Yes!! I am so excited about these cupcakes!! I love that you enjoy creepy & spooky treats like I do!
I don't own a smartphone but will still comment here. When I saw the Walking Dead show on your phone I had to keep scrolling since it's my favorite show. And then I came upon those cupcakes--- totally cool and definitely something I will make. Thanks so much for the idea!
Wow, really? An App we can watch at anytime? That is just genius. Thanks for sharing.
LOL you are so creative, love the cupcakes! You are so talented!
I can't get Cox here but it sounds like it is wonderful. My kids would go crazy over those cupcakes! I am going to make them for them this week. Thanks for the great idea.
Recording six shows at once is amazing. What's even more amazing is the ability to store up to 1,000 shows. I've never heard of such a thing!
Very cool. Several of the big name cable brands have connectivity apps like this, but I don't think I've heard of one that actually gives you suggestions based on my viewing. That's very cool.
That is an awesome app. We don't have Cox here in MA, though 🙁
Oh my goodness those cupcakes are not only hilariously scary fun but look delicious too. I love how easy Cox makes it to stay current with your fav shows.
Countour sounds really hand to have, especially with my hectic schedule in the evenings. It would definitely come in handy. BTW - I love those The Walking Dead Cupcakes!!
