GOLDEN BUTTER POPCORN CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the cake batter as directed, substituting corn liquid for the water in the mix. Linetwo 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Divide the batter between the pans, filling each cup two-thirds of the way. Bake as directed; let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Pour over the popcorn in a large bowl; toss to coat, then refrigerate until set, about10 minutes. Remove about 2 cups of the white chocolate popcorn and crush.

- Frost each cupcake with 3 tablespoons of the popcorn whipped cream. Top with the remaining white chocolate popcorn.
POPCORN CUPCAKES (SO CUTE!)
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.

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.
