POPCORN CUPCAKES (SO CUTE!)



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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth batter.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure the cupcakes rise evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full to prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the specified time to ensure they are cooked through.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For the best results, use a popcorn frosting that is firm enough to hold its shape.
  • Decorate the cupcakes with popcorn kernels, candy melts, or other decorations to make them look festive.

Conclusion:

Popcorn cupcakes are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways to suit your taste. With their delicious flavor and adorable appearance, popcorn cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
