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 popcorn. Stale popcorn will not have the same flavor or texture as fresh popcorn.
- Don't overcook the popcorn. Overcooked popcorn will be tough and chewy.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before adding it to the batter. Warm popcorn will melt the butter and oil in the batter, which will make the cupcakes greasy.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cupcakes tough.
- Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cupcakes rise and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. Warm cupcakes will melt the frosting.
