Sex and the city cupcakes

Even though I lived for 10 months in the states I never had the opportunity to go to NYC. What I did do was to fall in love with Sex and the City and thus, when I saw this month’s challenge for Desafío Cupcake (Cupcake challenge) I got very excited. Besides, the gift is the Magnolia Bakery book so… even better!



Of course the first thing a fan would think about when talking about Sex and the city is the cocktail the four girls always drink: Cosmopolitan. So I had to do an alcoholic cupcake, I just had to!



I had a great time thinking about this challenge, making the cupcakes and of course eating them! Probably this challenge should have come in a few months because then I will be better at this whole decorating cupcakes thing and will have a better chance of winning but I just had to try it!


You can find the recipe I used here

  7. They look so lovely and the pink is perfect - very Sex and the City. I do hope you win. Love the way you styled the cupcakes for the shoot. I must learn how to pipe icing the way you have xx

  8. Mireia, you are too sweet! I think your photos are great, too. Here's a website I found that might help: http://www.learnfoodphotography.com/

    The 2 things I've learned are to get your lens down low - I can't remember where I read this, but You can't see how thick a steak is if you photograph it from the top, so get counter-level and shoot it so you can see how thick it is.

    The other one is to get close to what you're shooting. This is really important for food because it allows you to see the details & textures.

    One final hint. Go into Design/Template Designer/Adjust Widths and make your central column wide enough to fit the X-Large photos - this will allow you to make your photos bigger so they really *POP*.

  18. Me fascinan los cupcakes que tienen licor, le dan cierta magia sabes.
    Estos me parecen fabulosos, me encanta el pinky touch. Nunca fui fan de Sex and the City, a decir verdad nunca vi la serie y tampoco las películas, pero se de qué se trata y tus cupcakes son perfectos para ese papel.
