Mary Antoinette Cake

Question: who was the french royal who was quoted to have said "Let them eat cake".? what was situation?
and is this really true you think?,,,btw, how attractive she was and how old? are there any real life paintings of her that were as good as Mary Antoinette's potrait? btw, does anyone know who painted her potrait and at which age she was in that painting?
how these paintings were similar to techniques used by Rembrandt? how these were done too if you can describe quickly the techniques.?
thanks for your answers!
Answer: wrong. let them eat cake is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly said by a French princess upon learning that the peasants had no bread
Let them eat cake was said 100 years before Marie Antoinette by Marie-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV. It was a callous and ignorant statement and she, Marie Antoinette, was neither.
it was attributed to her however, there is no evidence that Queen Marie-Antoinette ever uttered this phrase and substantial evidence that she did not. Objections to the legend of Marie-Antoinette and the cake/brioche centre on arguments concerning the real queen's personality, internal evidence from members of the French royal family, the date of the saying's origin and its frequent citation in works pre-dating Marie-Antoinette's life
