These Floral Cupcakes Sweeten Any Royal Wedding Viewing Party

Anna Monette Roberts
Apr 16, 2018

Prince Harry and Meghan Marckle plan to serve an organic lemon and elderflower wedding cake with buttercream frosting and seasonal flowers at their upcoming nuptials on May 19. Though we may not have an invitation to the highly anticipated event (bummer of the century), we can bake up these cupcakes, inspired by the flavor of the actual cake created by Violet Cakes, the lucky London-based bakery assigned to the important task.

You will find that this cupcake is not a sugar shock to your system but rather tastes delicate and almost muffin-like, which you're going to want, considering the US will be watching the wedding in the a.m. The salty buttercream frosting sways toward whipped cream territory and also helps balance the flavor. Though you may be tempted to add a dash of vanilla extract to the frosting, don't! Allow the buttery flavor to shine through and complement the floral, lemon cake.

Lemon and Elderflower Wedding Cupcakes With Salted Buttercream

(Makes 12 cupcakes)

Notes: We used Trader Joe's Cultured Salted Butter, but Kerrygold's is also an affordable yet flavorful choice. We also opted for Simply Organic Lemon Flavor, because it contains no alcohol or artificial flavors. The lemon oil will boost the citrus notes of the cupcakes, so don't miss out on adding in that spoonful. If you want to truly recreate the organic cake experience, we recommend purchasing all organic ingredients, though we do not include that in the recipe ingredients.

Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing pan
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • zest from 2 lemons, preferably Meyer
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 ounces salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Buttercream:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Garnishes:

Instructions:

1. To make cupcakes: Preheat an oven to 325°F. Prepare a cupcake pan by greasing the insides of each well with butter. Sprinkle flour inside each well and tap in all directions until each well is completely coated. Dump any excess flour.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, including zest.

3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine milk and lemon juice. Set until it curdles into buttermilk, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in eggs, melted butter, St-Germain, and lemon extract.

4. Stir wet ingredients into dry until just barely combined.

5. Fill muffin cups with batter until about 2/3 full. Optionally, use a spring ice cream scooper for cleanliness and precision.

6. Bake for 24 minutes, or until toothpick test comes out clean.

7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly (3-5 minutes) before carefully running a butter knife or a long toothpick around the edges of each cupcake to loosen from the metal wells. Transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack with the help of the butter knife (or toothpick). Allow cupcakes to cool completely (about 45 minutes) before icing.

8. To make buttercream: Meanwhile, use an electric mixer to beat butter for 1-2 minutes. Slowly beat in powdered sugar, one cup at a time on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add cream, increase the mixer speed to medium­-high, and beat until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, until the frosting is light and fluffy.

9. To prepare garnishes: Line a metal cooling rack with wax paper. Melt Ingenious Edibles Safety Seal according to package instructions. Cut flowers so stems are approximately 1-1 1/2 inches long. Dip stems into safety seal and lay out on wax paper. Allow to set for 10-15 minutes. If you do not have access to this wax seal, you can wrap flowers in plastic wrap and secure each end with a rubber band. Or, you can simply use the organic edible flowers available in the herb section of most supermarkets. Those are safe for consumption and therefore can be applied directly to each cupcake.

10. To assemble: Use an offset spatula or a rubber spatula to apply about 1/4-1/3 cup of frosting to the center of the cupcake. Round out the frosting to create a dome shape. Move spatula to about 1/2-inch from the edge. Apply slight pressure with the spatula while twisting the cupcake to create a swirl in the cupcake. It's okay if it's not perfect! Any “imperfections" just add to the rustic vibe. Repeat process with remaining cupcakes. Carefully press a flower off-center in the tops of each cupcake. Serve immediately (remind guests to kindly remove the flower before eating) or store in an air-sealed container for up to 2 days.

16 Costume Ideas To Rock a Wig This Halloween

Halloween isn't until next month, But if you’re still at a loss for a costume, don’t wig out — er, actually, that’s exactly what we want you to do! Because basic wigs are all it takes to build out an Insta-worthy costume on the fly.

Once you have the rainbow-colored hairpiece in your hold (chances are, you own one from Halloweens past, but even if not, you can grab the real deal from any costume shop for as cheap as $10), it’s all about pairing it with easy-to-find pieces that will round out your look.

DIY Costume Wig Ideas

Brit + Co

your closet or athrift store, or order from Amazon Prime to get just in time for the big day. With just a little pop culture brainstorming, you won’t believe all the ways you can wow in these wigs from head to toe.

Blue Wigs

Brit + Co

First up, my personal favorite, the bold blue wig. Here are our versions of Cookie Monster, Katy Perry, Sailor Mercury and Sexy Marge Simpson.

1. Cookie Monster Costume

An all-time classic and the best possible outfit for the gal who wants to have an excuse to pretty much wear a snuggie out for the evening.

Brit + Co

2. Katy Perry Costume

A beauty that has inspired SO many Halloween costumes over the past several years. We chose to veer away from the infamous cupcake bra version and tap into a more sophisticated look that’s still obviously the one and only KP.

Brit + Co

3. Sailor Mercury Costume

If you’ve never seen the TV show Sailor Moon before but love this look, here’s the 411: you’ll pretty much be dressed up as a badass anime cartoon who’s in a girl gang of other ladies similarly named after planets who take over the world and also happen to be really hot!

What You Need:

  • Sailor costume
  • Boots
  • Teal ribbon
  • Gold head piece
  • Blue gem
  • Hot glue

This little lady is easy to recreate with a simple basic classic costume you can find anywhere and by simply adding a few embellishments. For the headband, I used a gold necklace that has a solid structure (you could even use a gold ribbon if you wanted to) that has a blue gem hot glued to it. The ribbon is just an added piece to tie around your neck.

Brit + Co

4. Sexy Marge Simpson Costume

The sexy Marge! You know the episodes where she decides to let her hair down? The tall beehive hair is obvious but this is SO much more fun, not to mention easier to manage all night.

What You Need:

  • 1 yard of green spandex fabric
  • Sewing machine
  • Red beaded necklace
  • Heels

The dress, seriously the easiest thing to make EVER. Simply get a yard or two of the lime green stretch spandex fabric, measure around your body, sew inside out and voila, you are her! The beaded necklace you can make in a pinch if you can't find one — we scored and found this one at Goodwill!

Now, moving onto our yellow wig costumes. We tapped into a couple more Pop Stars: Miss Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga, an Angry Bird and a crazy Pop Art Comic Book Gal.

Yellow Wig

Brit + Co

5. Lady Gaga Costume

This crazy lady is definitely among the leaders in sporting brightly colored hair as a fashion statement. For this costume, we went with an actual Gaga dress and topped it off with a pair of shoes that are NO JOKE!

What You Need:

The shoes! This is not a necessity, but with the dress being so inexpensive, we decided it may be worth the splurge to commit to the investment in the shoes. The dress comes with eyewear, but these glasses truly take this costume to a more glam look that seems less out of the bag.

Brit + Co

6. Nicki Minaj Costume

We went with yellow-haired Nicki, but in all honesty you could literally wear any of these wigs for this chick — she wears 'em all! The key is exuding her sex appeal in combination with her sometimes crazy eyeball face topped off with not taking yourself too seriously. But this jam packs more punch if you go for being funny rather than sexy.

What You Need:

  • Tight leopard print dress or leotard
  • Black eyeliner
  • Heels
  • Gold bling

Definitely go with a dress size slightly smaller than what you would ordinarily wear. Then, feel free to stuff your bra with a little tissue paper to get those signature Nicki curves. Throw on a few gold chains and heels, and have a friend draw on her arm tattoo with eyeliner. I have to give it up to Miss Minaj, trying to copy her crazy eye look is REALLY hard.

Brit + Co

7. Angry Bird Costume

We've seen this costume before, but this look is still too dang cute to pass up. Especially when the list of what you need to make it happen is this simple!

What You Need:

  • Yellow outfit
  • Red, white, yellow and black felt
  • Black Sharpie
  • Hot glue
  • Headband
  • Flash tape

You could go with any shade of yellow really, I happened to have this little getup in my closet (just for the record, the shirt and skirt are from H&M and the sweater is from Target). Draw out the face onto the proper colored felt and cut it out. Glue the head piece to the headband. Everything else can be taped to the wig.

Brit + Co

8. Pop Art Comic Gal Costume

There are SO many versions of this look out there in the cyber world to choose from. Here is our take, where the outfit is pretty simple and it really comes down to the makeup.

What You Need:

  • Comic leggings
  • Graphic t-shirt
  • Ben Nye Color Creme Pods in a blue, white, yellow and purple
  • Electric Pallete by Urban Decay
  • Black gel liner
  • Fine-pointed synthetic makeup brush

Pop on the leggings and the top and then all that's left to tackle is the makeup. And once you have the right makeup on hand, it's not all that hard to achieve this head-turning look. The dots are all about precision — use a pencil eraser or tip of a makeup brush to apply the cream dots consistently all over your face.

Now for our orange wig costumes. We went with Leeloo Dallas (the hottie from The Fifth Element), a pumpkin, Fraggle Rock and the Mad Hatter.

Orange Wig

Brit + Co

9. Leeloo Dallas Costume

Channeling this sci-fi film icon is a really fun way to tap into a more sexy look while maintaining a quirkiness that keeps it fun. Truth: this teeny tiny outfit has indeed been my Halloween costume in the past — join the ranks this year!

Brit + Co

10. Pumpkin Costume

Okay, this may be really, really basic, but it is a Halloween staple. Plus, it’s the one time of year you can wear all orange all the time. #goGIANTS

What You Need:

  • Orange top
  • Orange bottom
  • Black felt
  • Hot glue
  • Green foam
  • Orange fabric

This look is all about orange everything! Orange leggings, an orange pumpkin t-shirt and that orange wig. Turn yourself into a pumpkin by pairing a green cone with an orange doily, and you're good to go.

Brit + Co

11. Red Fraggle Costume

One of the leading faces from the kooky '80s TV series can surely help bring back the nostalgia this Halloween. It's sure to put a BIG muppet-style smile on your face in this getup.

What You Need:

  • Red turtleneck
  • Nude leggings
  • Orange yarn
  • Bobby pins
  • Tail

Score a turtleneck from your local thrift store like we did. For the headpiece, grab a skein of orange yarn, cut it in half, tie each side off and attach to either side of your head with bobby pins. Grab any tail (this is from a lion costume kit) and add orange yarn to it too.

Brit + Co

12. Mad Hatter Costume

We're going with the Johnny Depp version, obviously!

What You Need:

  • Top hat with ribbon added
  • Jacket
  • Cream colored blouse
  • Spools of thread
  • Scarves
  • Gloves
  • Pants

As you can see, I purposely left out super descriptive details from each garment. The thing is, as long as you get the gist of the color scheme down and the general silhouette, this costume is so easy to replicate. Every clothing item is from my closet. I made the thread holster by stringing thread spools onto yarn and draping it over my shoulder. The makeup is a an understated version inspired from the original, but really easy to recreate. And yes, those are fake eyelashes as eyebrows!

Last we have our costume picks using a pink wig. These were our selects: Strawberry Shortcake, a unicorn, Jem and Frenchie from Grease.

Pink Wigs

Brit + Co

13. Strawberry Shortcake Costume

Another '80s classic that can be played down with a pair of white sneakers or sexified by wearing a pair of t-strap pumps.

What You Need:

If there is an option to wear flats, I say TAKE IT! How cute are these gifts to carry around as a fun accent piece? This costume definitely errs on the quick and easy side of the spectrum, so the hand-wrapped gifts make it feel a little more DIY! For your makeup just add some freckles using either black or brown eyeliner.

Brit + Co

14. Unicorn Costume

Real talk: I just wanted an excuse to dress up like a unicorn. The pink wig is just a bonus.

What You Need:

This costume is so comfortable and super cute! You can also add glitter or do your makeup really crazy if you want to take it to the next level.

Brit + Co

15. Jem Costume

Clearly, we are as obsessed with our '80s cartoon characters as we are with wig costumes. For bright pink tresses, Jem is an absolute must!

Brit + Co

16. Frenchie From 'Grease' Costume

“Beauty school drop out, go back to high school” — the tune never gets old. Typically the go-to Grease costume is the lovely Sandy, but let’s think outside the box and use this opportunity to channel the sweetest pink lady and her accidental pink hair. If only she knew how trendsetting she was back in the day!

Fall's Buzziest New Thriller Is Already Available To Stream

While I've been keeping up with all the buzz surrounding Demi Moore's The Substance, and definitely understood it was THE feminist movie of the fall, I remember opening X in mid-October, seeing an unhinged photo of Margaret Qualley as Monstro Elisasue, and thinking to myself, Wow, apparently I do not know what this movie is about.

If you're in the mood for a new, edgy horror movie that you can watch anytime of year, then do I have good news for you: The Substance is streaming now! Here's everything you need to know about the flick, including how to watch it this weekend because it will definitely make a great Halloween movie.

  • The Substance is streaming now, but it's also still available to see in theaters following its September 20 release date.
  • The movie follows an actress supposedly past her prime who takes matters into her own hands with a powerful serum called The Substance.
  • The cast includes Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

Where can I watch The Substance 2024?

The Substance Release Date

The Substance is streaming on Mubi and is available on Fandango at Home. You can also see the movie in theaters now. The Substance premiered on September 20.

What is The Substance movie about?

Mubi

The Substance Plot

In Coralie Fargeat's new movie, Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a used-to-be A-lister who's horrified when studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid) fires her from her own fitness TV show. (The audacity!) When she learns about The Substance, a new drug that promises youth and beauty, she immediately buys in.

A single injection and suddenly she's Sue, a twenty-something (played by Margaret Qualley) who's exactly what Hollywood is looking for. There's just one rule: you can only spend a week in each body at a time or things go very, very wrong.

Who's in the cast?

Mubi

The Substance Cast

The cast of The Substance includes all-star names like Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

What is the meaning behind The Substance?

Mubi

The Substance confronts all the different pressures placed on women: to look young, to act mature, to constantly reinvent yourself. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer-director Coralie Fargeat explains how Margaret's Monstro Elisasue "represents the monstrous part that we try to hide so much because we feel that we can't adapt or fit."

The end of the movie, in which (spoiler!!) Elisabeth basically melts into a pile of flesh on top of her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, frees her from any and all expectations. "It’s the first moment where she’s able to love herself. It’s the moment she sees herself and it’s not disgust, but in fact it’s as if she’s seeing her true self for the first time," Coralie says. "There’s self-indulgence, tenderness. It’s the first time she looks at herself in the mirror and doesn’t criticize herself. She decides, okay, I’m going to go out there, this is me, I have my right to have my place in the world."

Dunkin’s Official Holiday Menu Has Something Starbucks Doesn’t

The holidays are slowly approaching, and thank goodness, because it means all of the yummy fast food holiday menus are on their way. If you can’t get enough of a seasonal drink (perhaps a little peppermint action), listen up: Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2024 was just officially announced!

After rumors about the Dunkin’holiday menu for 2024 had been swirling around online, the Dunkin' Instagram account just confirmed a lot of the drink and snack predictions for the lineup, and they look extra good.

Plus, one of Dunkin's menu items is filling the void in my heart from a missing drink on the Starbucks rumored holiday menu. Hint: it involves toasted white mocha!

The Dunkin’ holiday menu for 2024 is speculated to drop on November 1, six days before Starbucks’ rumored holiday menu will hit. Scroll on to see everything joining the Dunkin’ menu!

When will the Dunkin' holiday menu for 2024 drop?

Meredith Holser

According to some menu leaks and rumors surrounding the Dunkin' holiday menu, a new lineup of drinks and snacks will become available starting November 1, 2024.

The famed foodie account, @markie_devo, broke the news about the Dunkin' holiday menu leak first.

Does Dunkin' have holiday cups?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Dunkin’ (@dunkin)

Yes, Dunkin' has holiday cups! They'll be available on November 1, once the holiday menu drops. The coffee chain posted a sneak peek of the holiday cup design on their Instagramon October 31. It appears the Dunkin' holiday cups have designs of donuts, peppermint candies, ornaments, and more. The color scheme is mostly white, orange, and pink!

Drinks On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

Dunkin'

NEW! Holiday Cookie Signature Latte

This festive new latte is made with brown sugar cookie and toasted almond syrups and topped off with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles. Sounds like a totally sippable dessert to me!

Dunkin'

NEW! Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte

Allegedly only available to order through the Dunkin' app, the Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte sounds like it'll combine brown sugar cookie syrup with oat milk and chai to usher in the holiday season. Based on previous menu offerings, you should be able to get this drink iced or hot.

Dunkin'

Peppermint Mocha Latte

The Peppermint Mocha Latte is a classic when it comes to the Dunkin' holiday menu, so I'm not surprised it's returning this year. This bev features peppermint and mocha syrups, espresso, and milk, topped with a hefty serving of whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and hot chocolate powder. Bring it on!

Dunkin'

Toasted White Chocolate Latte

No shade to Starbucks, but their rumored holiday menu for 2024 kind of broke my heart when I saw the Toasted White Mocha from years past wasn't coming back. Luckily, Dunkin' is filling the void with their Toasted White Chocolate Latte: a sweet, white chocolate-filled sip topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar topping!

Dunkin'

White Hazelnut Bark Coffee

Available hot or iced, this coffee is prepped with a Dunkin' toasted white chocolate swirl, hazelnut flavoring, and cream. Any seasonal drink that has nutty notes wins in my book!

Dunkin'

Spiced Cookie Coffee

Another reported "in-app only" drink joining the Dunkin' holiday menu, the Spiced Cookie Coffee will likely also be available to order hot or iced. I expect this bev to taste just like a snickerdoodle cookie!

Dunkin'

Cookie Butter Cold Brew

I am so excited about this cold brew drink coming back for the holidays at Dunkin'. The Cookie Butter Cold Brew is made with brown sugar cookie syrup and topped with cookie butter cold foam and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles for extra crunch. Stay tuned, because there's a sweet snack joining the menu to match!

Dunkin'

Toasted White Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew

This rumored app-exclusive cold brew will include notes of white chocolate and coconut – I need it now.

Dunkin'

Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

This anticipated app-only sip nixes the expected espresso for a very chocolatey (and peppermint-y!) effect.

Snacks + Food On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

Dunkin'

NEW! Hash Brown Brisket Scramble

Dunkin' has tested a number of breakfast Scrambles over the years, which is why I'm not totally shook by this food item coming to the holiday menu for 2024. This iteration will feature hash browns, scrambled eggs, shredded brisket, smoked cheddar cheese, poblano peppers, caramelized onions, and of course, a rich Texas queso.

Dunkin'

NEW! Almond Croissant

The holiday menu will also bring the Almond Croissant to Dunkin's breakfast lineup. It's a butter croissant filled with chopped almonds!

Dunkin'

Cookie Butter Donut

Yep – I need this in my belly ASAP. The Cookie Butter Donut is packed with a cookie butter filling, slathered with maple-flavored icing, then dipped in a delish speculoos cookie topping (tastes just like Biscoff cookies)! Sweet treat, anyone?

With so many unanswered questions and a myriad of challenges plaguing the Pogues' latest endeavor, it’s hard to know what comes next for the friend group. But no matter what, they will always have each other. #P4L.

While talking with Tudum, Hurwitz shared that the second half of season six will be the “most combustible” throughout the show’s run. He added, “You get to meet new, exciting characters and take all of our combustible characters, and you get to see karate outside of the Valley. How are they going to handle the pressure? How are they going to handle being in the most intense karate fight of their lives while it’s not harmonious between them?”

Katrina Marcinowski/HBO Max

Though Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Leighton (Reneé Rapp) and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) are returning for another semester at Essex College, the college roommates will soon have to figure out a new living situation. Yes, that’s right: Back in July 2023, Rapp announced that she will leave the show after season three.

At the time, Rapp shared on social media: “College Girls moved me out to LA and introduced me to some of my favorite people. 2 and a half years later—it’s given me y’all and this community. Thank you Mindy, Justin and everyone at Max for believing in me. A lot of queer works gets belittled — but playing Leighton has changed my life. I love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. I hope she gave y'all a little bit of that too. She's such a tiny part of the representation but even the tiny parts count. I wouldn’t be half the person I am without her and y’all. I’m so excited for this season and I can’t wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls.”

We’re going to miss you, Leighton :(

The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Devin Craig, Ruby Cruz, Michael Provost, Roby Attal, and Mitchell Slaggert.
