Ink & Batter #7: Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins!!


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!

    1. 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!

  3. I 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!

    1. 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!

  7. How 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

    1. Thank you so much, Faye!!
      For 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!

  14. I 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 ;)

  20. These came out so well, Pili! Mango cupcakes....yum. Which was the hardest to design?

    1. Thank 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!
