Breakfast at Tiffany's cupcake

There is this great contest in Spain that just started on February it's called Desafío Cupcake, for this month we had to design a cupcake based on the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's but I found out only a couple of days before the deadline and so I knew I didn't have the time or the material to make a perfect cupcake (not that I had never made one either!) and thus, I knew I wasn't going to win. However, since Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my favorite movies I had to at least participate. The result was an amazingly tasty cupcake but pretty simple on the outside. 

It was all inspired in the movie: vanilla cupcake (I think Holly was quite a sweet girl, even if sometimes she tried to show exactly the opposite), champagne blue buttercream (blue for the color of Tiffany's boxes and champagne because that's what Holly liked drinking). The cupcake paper around it reminded me of the black dress she wears. Yes, I had fun!

End result? I didn't win, no surprises there, there were many adorable cupcakes that I would have voted for before mine!

Next challenge: Sex and the City's cupcake

  4. I love your cupcakes. I want to make cupcakes for my son's baptism in May, but I haven't figured out how to decorate them. I'm thinking that light blue icing and sugar beads might be the way to go.
