It's so much fun to make cake look like it's something else. Even better is to make cake look like another kind of food. Popcorn was on the menu last week for a birthday girl who took her friends and her party to the movies.
The cake was all yellow with buttercream filling and icing. She wanted none of those other fillings, "just icing in the middle please." :-)
All of the decorations were fondant except the popcorn. Need a closer look?
Even closer?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret...the popcorn. I'm going to tell you how I made it, but you have to pay close attention because it's super technical and very difficult.
Just kidding.
It's so easy. You take mini marshmallows and cut two lines across the top and then just shape it up a little. Then you paint each one with a mixture of yellow pearl dust and lemon extract. So easy for so much cuteness.
This will be our little secret.
Check back Monday for a What's Baking Monday recipe....I promise.
Have a great weekend!
