The Little Prince Cupcakes
I read The Little Prince for the first time in French, yes completely in French. Actually, now that I think about it, I’ve never read it in English. Huh. But anyway, I’ve always adored the sweet and magical tale, so I couldn’t resist making The Little Prince cupcakes to celebrate its release on Netflix August 5th. It really is a precious story.
And these cupcakes are kinda precious too.
Start by baking a batch of your favorite cupcakes using gold cupcake liners, and let them cool completely. To make the blue frosting, I mixed food coloring paste into a tub of ready-made white frosting: 3 drops royal blue, 3 drops violet and a smidge of black.
I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m not a frosting expert. I have a preschool frosting degree, and we’re all just going to have to be ok with that.
Once the cupcakes are frosted, sprinkle some edible gold glitter stars on top
Then add a little red candy rose to each one.
All that’s left is to queue up the movie on Netflix and enjoy a fun family night with The Little Prince cupcakes and movie!
- 1 pkg yellow or white cake mix
- Gold baking cups
- 1 tub white frosting
- Food color paste - royal blue, violet and black
- Edible gold star glitter
- Candy roses
- Bake cupcakes according to package directions, but use gold foil liners (for a royal prince-ly feel). Let cool completely.
- To color frosting, mix 3 drops royal blue, 3 drops violet and a smidge of black food coloring paste with a tub of white frosting. Pipe or spread on as desired.
- Sprinkle on edible gold stars glitter, and put a single red candy rose on top.
Catch The Little Prince beginning August 5th on Netflix!

I’ve never heard of the little prince, but the kids and I will have to check it out on Netflix. Adorable cupcakes, almost too cute to eat!
I am throwing a baby shower for my SIL who is having a boy. I might have to make these!

First of all, THANK YOU for telling me it’s going to be on Netflix tomorrow! I would have missed it! These cupcakes are adorable. Time to buy gold star glitters!

I have never read The Little Prince but any kind of excuse for cake is good! These look delicious x
Oh these cupcakes are too precious! What a great way to enjoy Netflix and a nice little treat.
These are so cute and look absolutely delicious!
I always love trying different version of cupcakes at home for every season & my goodness this one looks great & so much delicious as well. The color combination is just perfect enough to make it a great one and that red candy rose adds more beauty to it!
They look great, although i’m not sure how long they would last in this house, probably to the opening titles!
These look fantastic and fab! I needed to pin it to my board on Pinterest! Great recipe, need to try this out!! Thanks for sharing!
I saw the ad for the Little Prince last night. It looks fab! I may have to make these to eat when we watch it!
These are adorable. I’m a massive cupcake fan so these are right up my street.

Oh wow these cupcakes are SO sweet. If the icing was yellow they’d remind me of Beauty and The Beast actually! xxx
Omg how cute are these cupcakes?!?! Can’t wait to see Little Prince on Netflix!
These cupcakes are just lovely. I’m quite sure they are not only pretty but taste delicious too.
These look so cute! I saw that this was coming out on netflix. Seems like something I’d watch on a lazy Sunday to put a smile on my face.
I’m sure they are as good as they are beautiful. The drool on my computer keys are entirely your fault!
I adored that book in high school, but it’s been years since I’ve read it. Your cupcakes are adorable, and totally capture the spirit of it.
I have a preschool frosting degree, lol, yours look fine! The cupcakes are cute, and the perfect way to ring in the story.
These are adorbs. I need to look for those baking flakes.
Oh my gosh, these are so flipping cute! Perfect for a princess themed party!
I love cupcakes and these look tasty. I bet these would be a hit in the office too
These cupcakes are so cute! They are perfect for so many different occasions. That’s also pretty impressive that you read the whole story in French!
These are so cute! You did such an amazing job on the presentation, mine would never look that cute!
This post makes me wish all my friends daughters were small again! I loved doing things with them. The cupcakes are adorable!
What a cute recipe in honor of this show coming to Netflix. My daughter would have fun making these with me.
My grand kids love cupcakes and these look really yummy!
Aww.. these are SO beautiful. I was excited to open this post from the title alone, but I wasn’t expecting this beauty. And yum.
These are so beautiful and I would love to make some with my granddaughter 🙂
Those turned out beautifully! Seriously, like, cupcake shop quality!
Those are absolutely adorable! I love the finishing touch of the roses.
Ok those are adorable! I love the color as well, not sure i’ve seen that before. And I never saw those cute stars before! Love them
These cupcakes are to cute to be eaten! Every ornaments on the cupcakes are just so lovely. Thank you for sharing how to achieve the shade of blue from the frosting.
Og gow pretty is that. Mixing up the blue cupcake with a rose candy is great! Must be nice to be able to read or learn french.
These look incredible! You’ve given me a massive craving for cake now haha
They are extremely adorable! And it’s really lovely to be able to read a book in another language! Do you get to practise your French much?
These are so cute! They would be great for my nephews birthday.
These look so delicious!! Definitely bookmarking this page for my future cupcake cravings!
These are super cute cupcakes 🙂 Gorgeous photos
The Little Prince will always be one of my most treasured books. There’s a lot to learn about life from it and it’s really nice that Netflix is featuring the movie. It’s a great way to expose kids to the story and to introduce them to the book as well.
Those are so cute! I wouldn’t want to eat them because they look to good. I would just admire them. Ok, I would eat them, but only after admiring them.
I want to watch this on Netflix. I like how you present it, the cupcakes are so adorable and I like the golden lining.
I can not frost cupcakes to save my life, which is why I am so thankful for easy edible decorations like the ones you used here. These treats are a tasty way to celebrate a new Netflix release.
Those are super cute! I can’t wait to see what the little prince is all about.
What a fun idea! The colours work so well together. Very pretty. I wouldn’t mind trying a TV themed cupcake myself.
if i’m honest i’m not a cup cake guy, much prefer a soft gooey cookie or a nice ripe banana non the less a well put together blog I think the problem is my mouth!
I always wanted to try baking, I hope I can learn it. These cupcakes are so adorable!
Pre school frosting degree is hilarious. I think I’ve finally moved up to a third grade level. I’m digging the edible gold flakes, I’ve seen them in the store but haven’t purchased yet. They are so cute and festive.
I’ve not heard of this movie, but I will look it up. I love me some Netflix.
These are so cute! I love the rose garnish — so pretty.
Yes, Helen, the garnish is so pretty and creative! These are so festive and perfect for any celebration.
These look so good! I love the colour of the icing.
These cupcakes are the cutest! I love that they’re simple to make and decorate too!
Oh how adorable those cupcakes! It looks simple but too cute for me to eat them!
I love how such a simple decoration is very recognisable for the Little Prince! I never got into the book; reading between the lines wasn’t my thing, but it’s adored by many. Is this a new TV series that’s coming out on Netflix?
It’s a feature film that will be on Netflix starting August 4th, so it makes a great movie night pick!
Oh, I want to see this show. Sounds interesting, plus I love your cupcakes!
I like how you design your cupcakes. I like the golden stars on top. Nice article too.
These cupcakes look super delicious! I feel like grabbing it right now. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Have pinned it!
I thought you made the roses and I was glad to find out you can just buy them.
Those are super cute! I wish I could speak another language.
I saw the name of the cupcakes and got excited but I have to say when i saw that first picture with the flower, I thought …she’s crazy, i can’t make that. Thankfully it’s a CANDY! Now I love these haha
These are super cute cupcakes. I will have to make them for a birthday party soon!
Oh my gosh I love these! My girls would love to have a movie night like this.
Cute cup cakes. I love the rose on top
Well done. These cupcakes are gorgeous! I haven’t watched The little Prince, so I don;t know much about it. But how cool!
Wow very well done! I have never heard of The Little Prince so will have to check it out.
These are so beautiful! I love the little edible stars you added, too. I seriously need to get some of those, because your cupcakes are beautiful.
These cupcakes are magical! I love the rose decoration.
Those are gorgeous. I love the flower on top, and the surrounding little stars! It really looks like the book cover we have been seeing for years and years!
Those cupcakes turned out great. That is such a great idea too. I love it! My girls would love to make them.
These are just too adorable!
I remember seeing the movie The Little Prince when I was younger. I loved it. These cupcakes are the perfect compliment to the upcoming show.
These cupcakes turned out really great. Your frosting ability looks fine to me. Love the color blue, gold stars and red rose.

What an adorable recipe idea, cupcakes are so yummy. I will be making these to cure my sweet tooth craving next time it pops up 😉

I will give these a try!
I enjoyed the animated movie so much and it’s really awesome that they have it now on Netflix! I can’t wait to watch it with my kids. These cupcakes are amazing, by the way. Love that you decided to focus on the rose.
So dainty. So little prince. ❤️
I love cupcakes. These are beautiful and very fitting for The Little Prince. I’m sure they will make everyone happy.

Le petit prince is my favorite book and your pictures are soooooo stunning !! I definitely will try your recipe. You brighten my day !! Thanks 😀
How cute are those cupcakes. I love the Little Prince story but haven’t read it in French.
I love the idea of making themed food to match a programme you are watching on Netflix x
These turned out so cute. The edible gold stars are such a nice touch. I need to get some of those for baking.
These Are Adorable Mt Daughters Birthday Is Coming Up I Would Love To Make & Add Them To The Menu Thank You!
I remember The Little Prince–it was read to me–then I read it–in English (my French leaves a lot to be desired!) I did love that story!! I also love those cupcakes–so pretty!!
These are so cute! What an inventive idea <3
The Little Prince cupcakes look beautiful. I never knew about edible gold star glitter. It is definitely a fun way to give baking goods an elegant look.
I’ve never read the book in any language! Those cupcakes look so cute – too pretty to eat!
The red roses are so cute on these cupcakes! I’ve actually never read the little prince in any language haha x
OMG! These are adorable. Love the colors and the rose. They look so tasty as well!

Those cupcakes are adorable. The one thing about baking and decorating cupcakes (good or bad?) is that I have a real assortment of cupcake liners.
A cupcake lover I am so this post is a 10/10 for me, more cupcakes please…. am starving. ?. Hahahahaja
These cupcakes are adorable! You did a great job
I am not a frosting expert but I think you are! I love the baby blue frosting, the little prince cupcakes are so cute !
They look too good to eat. I love how you did the roses. Really nice. xx
Those look gorgeous! Too gorgeous to eat. Not sure I could ever decorate them so lovely. They look good though, will have to check out the little prince!
These are the cutest cupcakes! I could never make these because I would never let anyone eat them!
These are gorgeous cupcakes. I love them! Too fun!
These are beautiful! The glitter is such a cute addition!
These almost look to good to eat! The flower on top is beautiful!
I love the edible stars. These cakes are so pretty.
These cupcakes look so cute and yummy. I will have to watch the movie with my niece.
These cupcakes look like so much fun! I love the color and decorations on these cupcakes. I’d love to try this recipe sometime soon!
Those are precious! I love the roses. Almost too cute to eat. lol
Oh my gosh, what cute cupcakes for boys! And they are so delicious looking I could scoop one off the page and eat it right now.
They looks so pretty! I live the small golden stars, they give a great visual “taste” to the cupcakes. And the best thing, they are so easy to make!
These are so beautiful! I loved The Little Prince book and read it tons of times, also in french! Can’t wait to see the new movie.
These are the most adorable little cupcakes I’ve seen in a while – good effort!
My daughter and I are really looking forward to watching The Little Prince! Not long now! x
I watched the preview of this, and I want to see it! I even posted the preview on my work’s facebook page. The cupcakes look so cute!
These look lovely, I am not good at icing cakes either, my view is there is icing on them they look fine 🙂
Omgoodness…these are too cute, and almost too cute to eat. Anyone who makes these will impress anyone who sees them.
Those look amazing. if only someone could figure out how to get me food through a screen…. and I didn’t know that the little prince was going to be arriving on netflix soon- SO STOKED!
Oh wow! I’m going to make some of these for my next Girls’ Night In. They are WAY to fancy to feed to the kids OR my husband!
I know, I don’t think my kids or husband would even notice that these were that cute. They’re more concerned about eating the food than appreciating how cute it is lol!
Wow. These are great cakes. This is just wonderful. Delicious it looks merely looking at it. Thanks for sharing
I’m laughing about your preschool frosting degree. I think I finally finished first grade when it comes to frosting cupcakes. When I heard a famous chef say that she strives to make things look imperfect and homemade, I just went with it. I’ll have to try your Little Prince cupcakes. They are adorable!
They look so beautiful! I’ll try to make a vegan version for my partner – The Little Prince is one of our favourite bedtime stories that we read to each other!
Those are the most adorable cupcakes ever! I love them! I remember reading The Little Prince (in English) many, many years ago. Will have to check it out on Netflix!
Those cupcakes are too cute. I could eat about 17 of them right now 🙂
I love the Little Prince and adore cupcakes so this post is a win win! How gorgeous are those roses and gold stars? I didn’t know there was a movie made, that will be worth watching for sure.
Oh cupcakes, so delicious and these are mouth watering right now, I’ve not even eaten yet now I’m craving lol.
Oh my goodness this is adorable. The rose and the colors are just perfect =)
I can’t speak any other languages, but it would be cool to read in a different one. Somehow that does seem a little easier.
These cupcakes are adorable. I am looking forward to the Little Prince. I am impressed that you read the book in French. I am trying so hard to learn French and make it stick in my brain. Le Sigh.
Okay I am trying to fit into my jeans for a little while longer. I am therefore going to back away from this table slowly
