In support of helping my team raise awareness (and money) for Movember, I'm entering the "manly cupcake" contest through C&C Cakery.

The theme is Mos of the Movies

I have a few ideas, but can't decide on one. Help me decide, or come up with something better. Staying true to the theme of famous men with mustaches in the movies, these are what I have come up with thus far:

"Rhett" Velvet Cupcakes - (this would be a play off of Clark Gable's character Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind)

"Death Wish" Cupcakes - (ala Charles Bronson. I could put a little candle in them)

Death wish!.put a mustache on those cupcakes

death wish cupcakes all the way

Hahahaha.

make them about jose valentin. from wikipedia:

Apprently the mustache gives you special powers

I really like the death wish idea too, I was thinking I could make chocolate mustaches and put them on there, and then put a little candle above it.


I wish I could get my hands on a little gun candles to put on top, but I have until Friday to submit my entry and that's not enough time to order them.

Bullet candles!

Make "The Mad Hungarian" Sugar cupcakes.

buuut, with Rhett Velvet I can use a little one liner, like "Is it bad to eat two? Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn".


damn it.

ooo that's also really good.

OK another addition to the voting pool:

Cheeseburger Royale cupcake - (ala Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction, "that's a tasty burger!") - I would use my burger cupcake recipe for this, obviously, but big ones instead of the sliders.


It's between Rhett Velvet and Cheeseburger Royale.

which is it?

I'm going with "Rhett Velvet", since I haven't received any more input. Will most likely use southern comfort in the batter and icing to give it more of an authentic southern gentleman vibe.
