I watched the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton and couldn't help but notice the flamboyant fascinator worn by Princess Beatrice. Having inspired much attention and discussion throughout the Western world, this piece even inspired a Munich, Germany, bakery to create these royal wedding hat cupcakes.
Wir Machen Cupcakes took part in the April 29th celebration by cooking up a selection of spongecake, champagne, vanilla and chocolate deserts dedicated to the happy couple. Flaunting crowns, tiaras, roses and wedding rings, the regal repertoire was enhanced the following day with Prince Andrew's daughter's pink headpiece, formed of a large oval and a bow. As the most amusing of the royal wedding hat cupcakes, Beatrice's beret baked confection makes quite a cute torte treat.
