Once again, pop culture cupcakes are slightly over my head because (gasp!) I've never seen Downton Abbey but I love fan cupcakes and these make me want to watch the show because blogger and cupcake topper maker top the cupcake is so so excited about them! Do you ever feel that way, like when "everyone" is watching a show/listening to a musician/getting into something that you should too? The latest ones are the "team servants" cupcakes at the bottom, inspired by a Tweet from the Downton Abbey official Twitter @DowntonAbbey. See the "Star struck" post for the excitement level. Pretty cool, huh? You can also follow @topthecupcake on Twitter for the latest news and Downton Abbey fandom. Also visit topthecupcake.com for ordering information (they're based in Perth, Western Australia).
After the Justin Bieber cupcakes and Blue Ivy Carter cupcake gift ideas, I'm on the hunt for pop culture cupcakes to feature, so if you have ideas, Tweet us @cupcakeblog or post on our Facebook page or email us at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com with "Pop culture" in the subject line. I'm thinking Madonna for Super Bowl! And maybe a Glee cupcake roundup? And for those who want to know more, here's the official Downton Abbey site.
Here's part of the story behind the above cupcakes, via this post:
My cupcaking adventure yesterday was a disaster! My foolproof chocolate recipe proved not to be so foolproof afterall. I don’t know what went wrong. I measured all the ingredients out and followed the recipe with the utmost precision but got bland tasting, non-rising, below average cupcakes. The only thing I can think of which may have attributed to this is perhaps one of the ingredients passed its use by date. Nevertheless, as you can imagine this left me feeling quite devastated. So I reverted to my vanilla foolproof recipe (touch wood) and made chocolate butter cream frosting! And of course I topped the cupcake with my Downton Abbey cupcake toppers! Nothing new here, once again I just sketched the Downton Abbey imagery onto a piece of fondant. I also made a cheeky “The only way is Downton” topper at the expense of ‘The only way is Essex”.
