Using a spatula, fold egg whites and sprinkles into batter until just combined (do not over mix, but make sure sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the batter). In a separate bowl beat egg whites with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. With mixer on medium alternate between flour mix and milk (starting and ending with flour), scraping down sides when needed and allowing each addition to become fully combined before adding more. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in sugar and oil and beat until well-combined, scraping down the sides as needed. In a stand mixer beat butter on medium low until creamy. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour your cake pans*. ½ cup sprinkles (although we used a full cup) Allison used a novelty cake pan to get the rough shape of the baby butt, then trimmed out the excess cake before icing in one color and piping on the purple Pimpernel free-hand! Not too shabby! Not all Pizza Film Club meetings include a cake but then again not all Pizza Film Club meetings fall on a birthday. THE BIRTHDAY CAKE : Purple Pimpernel Funfetti Cake To prepare for drinking, add water to taste (somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 part syrup to 3 parts water) For the overachievers you can make your own lemonade syrup.īoil together sugar, water, and lemon rind for 5 minutes. ![]() Seriously though, name another quotable cinematic poisoning that isn't from The Princess Bride. Named after one of The Court Jester's most quotable scenes, and one of cinema's most quotable attempted poisonings ("The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!"), Allison's Brew is designed not to be as overly sweet as concoctions like these tend to be. Though the Black Fox's men would most likely have been downing mead or ale, those in the court may have been lucky enough to imbibe something as delicious and fragrant as The Brew That is True. THE COCKTAIL : The Brew That is True (Hard Arnold Palmer a.k.a. The Court Jester is definitely worth a watch but may pair better with friends (and pizza). The sets and costumes are all gorgeous even on an unrestored DVD edition. The performances are all incredibly charming the kind of Saturday Matinee movie you'd watch from the living room floor, gleefully enraptured. The result is extremely enjoyable with a quick pace and the aforementioned wordplay to keep your attention even if you're not usually into this kind of flick.

Griselda (Mildred Natwick), Hawkins finds himself in the midst of several bits of palace intrigue including the King's plan to marry off his lovely daughter Princess Gwendolyn ( Angela Lansbury) and Lord Ravenhurst's (Basil Rathbone's) attempts to kill his fellow Lords all the while attempting to take the key without alerting the King. ![]() In an effort to place the rightful heir, a baby, on the throne and oust the usurper King Roderick (Cecil Parker), Hawkins takes the identity of famous jester Giacomo ("King of Jesters and Jester of Kings") and attempts to steal a key to the secret tunnel beneath the palace through which the rightful baby-heir could be smuggled safely into the citadel. The most expensive comedy ever made at the time, The Court Jester stars fleet-of-foot funnyman Danny Kaye as Hawkins, a former circus performer who abandoned the big top life to be of service to The Black Fox, a Robin Hood-type bandit living in the forest with his men. The Court Jester is known for its tongue twister dialogue and song lyrics and I thought I'd give it a shot, but that's just exhausting.
