POPCORN!
Okay... that was the real deal up there! Ha ha ha! REAL popcorn in a bucket..
Here's MY Popcorn cupcakes:
First off.. thank you to Target for having these nifty popcorn buckets in their dollar bin!
I started off with countless mini cupcakes.. (one box of cake mix)
Then I used whipped vanilla frosting...
Then I made individual popcorns by cutting white and yellow marshmallows into thirds and arranging them like a clover.. then with frosting, using a whole one on top of that arrangement to make it look like popcorn.. (I had to make over 200 of them, took a LONG time!)
Then I topped each cupcake with 2-4 popcorns and put paper towels in the popcorn boxes about half way full, then stacked about 10 cupcakes on top of each other to look like popcorn.
They were a hit at my friend, Kylla's outdoor party last night!
And they looked so real! Although Kylla's 4 year old son, Brayden wasn't fooled.. I walk out of the car carrying them and he yells, "Mom! Tina brought cupcakes!"
Lots of others were fooled upon first glance, though..
It was fun making them, they just took a long time.. If I had a helper, it would have gone faster and been more enjoyable.
Stay tuned for more cupcake creations!
