Cupcake Monday! The Marie Antoinette Edition
How perfect is this scene from Sofia Coppola's stunningly gorgeous film Marie Antoinette? It's every girlie girl's dream to lounge on a silk damask chaise longue in an 18th century gilded French palace surrounded by pink iced cakes while being pampered with a pedicure. With your shoes on. I prefer mine off for the full effect but maybe that's just me.
I went nuts with images from the film a while back, so if you'd like more drool fodder take a look here.
And now, let us eat cupcakes:
Gorgeous! From I Love Muffins
Gilded, from Peggy's Cupcakes
Tower of yum! From Yummy Piece of Cake
Look at what's on those plates and notice the macaron tree beside her. They used Ladurée in the film but the French pastry maker wasn't established until 1862. Oh how I hope those didn't go to waste.
yummy! love the colors...how can one not smile when seeing cupcakes? oh and...macaroons... =)

A cupcake a day could certainly make any princess feel like a queen.

I still have yet to see the movie, but these pastries look divine! That first image is what I imagine for myself one day. :)
