“The Hobbit” Arkenstone Cupcake

Österr FlaggeIMG_2822The last part of the Hobbit series (The Battle of the Five Armies) has started in Austrian cinemas on Wednesday and I cannot wait to finally see it. Since today is THE day and I am not going to fail my own tradition, I am able to share with you the perfect Hobbit MovieMunchies, which I am going to snack on later. 😀

The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug was all about the journey to the Lonely Mountain and finding the legendary Arkenstone. But what is going to happen with the mysterious gem?

The secret will hopefully be revealed in the movie, but for the moment being, we will simply put that precious white jewel on a bed of gold coins (just as in the movie) on top of a delcious Cupcake and create an Arkenstone Cupcake! Ta-da! 😛arkensteinTIP: You can use the same techniques to make any kind of treasure (eg pirates’ treasure, tresaure chest, claudron of gold)! 😉

And since Hobbits are skilful farmers and love to eat directly off their fields, there is a Carrot Cake Cupcake hidden underneath this treasure. Don’t worry about the flavor, the carrot and pineapple pieces only add the needed succulency to your cupcakes, while they taste heavenly nutty and sligtly Christmasy, which makes them the perfect treat for the season.

Let’s start baking!
