Hello everyone! Happy Thursday and welcome to a new edition of Ink & Batter!
This week, I'm sharing the cupcakes I did inspired by a book I hadn't read yet (at the time I made them and wrote this post) but since then, it was selected as Read Discuss Repeat Virtual Bookclub's book for May: Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins!
I was quite inspired by its lovely cover and I asked Wendy from The Midnight Garden and Stephanie from Inspiring Insomnia for decoration ideas, since both had read and loved the book! Thank you ladies for your ideas!
I went for the orange and pale pink cupcake liners since they matched the cover colours, and used my mango lassi recipe for the mini cupcakes since I already had to do the test run for the recipe for my friend's wedding!
Dagger, orange ribbons and pearls, I got from the cover. Then on Stephanie's suggestions I did the lipstick/lipgloss, tiara, newspaper and grade's report!
Have you guys read the book? Do you think I did a good job on these cupcakes?
Stay tuned for more book inspired cupcakes on the next edition of Ink & Batter!
I love the lipstick one!! Great job again lady!

Thank you, Britt! According to the book it was supposed to be a lip gloss, but I had no fondant cutter for it, so the lipstick works!
DeleteThese are gorgeous!! You are one talented lady! (Also I want a cupcake, now)
ReplyDeleteKate @ Ex Libris
Thanks a lot, Kate! I wish I could teleport you a few!
DeleteI need these cupcakes in my life Pili! They look so DELICIOUS! I love the lipstick and the pearls, they look amazing. Well, they of course all look amazing, but I love those two things the most. Can't wait to see what's next!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Stupid Blogger ate my last comment.
ReplyDeleteBasically I said I need these cupcakes in my life as they look DELICIOUS, you're amazing, and I adore the pearls and the lipstick. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you, Jenny!! Next is probably gonna be Art of Lainey and the Dispossessed series by Page Morgan! =D
DeleteI love how much detail you put into these! They're even too pretty to eat!! I so have to visit you for one of these soon !Bahah!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Giselle! And if you visited, you'd be given welcome cupcakes for sure! ;)
DeleteI have not read this one but I have heard amazing things about it.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job on these ones though! As muich as I like the lipstick one, I have to say the last one is my favourite. The detail is so pretty! :)
Thanks for sharing, I wish I lived closer ;D

I made the cupcakes without reading the book, I asked some fellow bloggers to give me some ideas of what to use for decorations and then I read the book and it's a great book and loads of fun, I highly recommend it!
DeleteHow can you ever not make a good job on these cupcakes, Pili ? They look so splendid, and I love the focus on the color orange! I've never been a fan of this particular color, but wow! You make it look so appetizing and warm and friendly! I love it a lot!! When will you do Across the Universe? :P :P :P :P

Thank you so much, Faye!!
DeleteFor making the Across the Universe cupcakes I feel like I need to either re-read or at the very least refresh my memory with a recap, but I promise I will make them!
Those cupcakes got me hungry..NOT COOL LOL NOT COOL
ReplyDeleteSorry not sorry Lily!! =D
DeleteI STILL CAN NOT GET OVER THIS. HOW EVEN. SIGHHHHH
ReplyDeleteI hope that means you like them, right?? Thank you, Nikki!
DeleteThe lipstick! The lipstick is my favorite! But honestly, I'd eat them all. If I helped you, I DESERVE TO EAT THEM ALL.
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
YAY! So glad to hear you like them, Wendy! And of course, helpers get extra eating privileges! If only I could teleport them to you!
DeleteI think this is a Pili-pushing book! I'll have to check out in the next few months :D Lovely job, Pili! I like the last one especially ^_^
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yes, yes it is! Aaaand, yes, yes you do!! ;)
DeleteThank you Alyssa!
Oh. As always; GORGEOUS cupcakes :D I love love love looking at them all, hih. <3 As they look so perfect. Sigh. Thank you so much for making and sharing sweetie :D You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, sweetie! So happy you love them! =D
DeleteOh my God!!! The one with the dagger is stunning! (well, all of them are, but that's my favorite)
ReplyDeleteI want to eat them all!!!
Thank you so much, Lis!
DeleteI have not read that book, but I don't need to have read it to think MANGO LASSI cupcakes are ridiculous (as in awesome). My husband and I can't get Indian food without getting mango lassis too, and mango lassi cupcakes . . . I can't ever ;)
ReplyDeleteJessica @ Rabid Reads
They're rather yummy and a favourite of some of my friends! The first time I made them, they all had 3 cupcakes each, and that was a record! ;)
DeleteThanks Jessica!
Oh Pili aren't these cupcakes so darling! It looks like you got the colours totally perfect! Mango Lassi sounds so awesome too. The lipstick is my favourite one :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jeann! And Mango Lassi is a very yummy flavour, with the mango and spices!
DeleteOnce again your cupcakes look awesome! I have yet to read this book, although it is on my TBR list. But I do love the cover, and from that I think your cupcakes look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lisa! I hope your surgery went great!
DeleteMy favorite one is the dagger one. It looks cute (yet a little dangerous)! The tiara one is my second favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you like them! And yeah, the tiny dagger is cute but not too harmless looking!
DeleteThank you, Kaitlin!
Lovely and delicious looking as always. I have to try some of these some day but I'd need a lot of tools I don't have. *whistful* someday :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so starters kits from Wilton that have quite a few decorating tools, Ula! You can start building a collection little by little! ;)
DeleteThank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! Amazing job, as always! I really like the dagger, tiara, and lipstick! SO cute! I still haven't gotten around to reading Rebel Belle! SOON though!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you need it read it! It's funny, it's adorable and has loads of action! Perfect fluffly summer read with content!!
DeleteThank you sweetie!! <3
These came out so well, Pili! Mango cupcakes....yum. Which was the hardest to design?
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie!! I gave up on the stapler, and the harder ones were the newspaper and the grades sheet cause I'm using a new fondant that gets too sticky too soon when modeling by hand!
