Popcorn cupcakes would make the perfect treat at a Carnival Circus theme party or a Movie Night Party. Cakes by Jen has fun Popcorn Cupcakes that would be great for your party. Here is how she created these delicious treats:
1. Bake your cupcakes in regular cupcake liners
2. Ice the cupcakes with buttercream or frosting of your choice
3. Using scissors, snip the top of mini marshmallows twice in opposite directions to form an ‘X’.
4. Arrange the marshmallows on top of the cupcakes
5. Lightly spray the marshmallows with yellow color mist to resemble butter
6. Color red stripes on Wilton Nuts & Party Cups and attach a “Popcorn” sticker to the front
7. Place the finished Popcorn Cupcake with liner into the party cups.
8. Enjoy!
You can also purchase Popcorn Cupcake Wrappers on Ebay. These would also work wonderfully for your popcorn cupcakes and they are a great time saver, too!
Carabou also has wonderful popcorn cupcakes that would make a terrific snack at your Carnival or Movie Night party. She came across the idea for these cupcakes in the best selling book Hello Cupcake! They came out so cute!

The marshmallow tops look like they are melted and stuck together but it doesn’t say to cook them…how do you achieve that look? Is it really just by cutting and stacking them?
@Julia; The marshmallows are not melted. They are just placed on top of the cupcakes. If you use enough marshmallows and white frosting, you can achieve the look pictured. Hope this helps!
Great thank you so much…I intend to attempt these for a circus themed party this weekend! Cheers!
These turned out amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! Our girls thought it was real popcorn! So so cute, but definitely order the wrappers, those took waaaay to long to make lol!
@Julia, So glad to hear that! Yes, the popcorn wrappers are definitely a great time saver.:)
