Popcorn Cupcakes (So Cute!) image

My youngest daughter entered these into the fair a few years back and won a 2nd place ribbon. So cute! You can use your favorite cake batter and icing recipe. To make the popcorn band your will need scissors, white construction paper and blue and/or red markers, or you can create something on a color printer such as we did. You will also need a clean paintbrush to add "butter" to the "popcorn". I think this came from Family Fun Magazine.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 baked cupcake
2 tablespoons white icing
40 mini marshmallows (white or pastel yellow and white)
yellow food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Frost the cupcake with white icing. To create each piece of "popcorn," cut one mini marshmallow in half and squish the two pieces back together into a whole mini marshmallow, pinching firmly. Pile the finished popcorn onto the frosted cupcake.
  • For a buttery look, either dilute a drop of yellow food coloring in water and brush it on with a clean paintbrush or mix pastel yellow marshmallows in with the white.
  • To make the band, cut a strip of construction paper about 1 1/4 inches by 8 inches, or to fit your cupcake, and decorate as shown.
  • If you're creating many cupcakes, design just one band and color photocopy it. Wrap the band around the cupcake and secure with tape.
