„Let Them Eat Cupcake“

Description:

The Princess wearing pink ball gown holding cupcake.
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was enriched, as opposed to normal bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess's obliviousness to the condition of the people.
While they are commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette, there is no record of these words ever having been uttered by her.
