I recently saw an episode of Ace of Cakes where Duff made a bubble gum machine and used real bubble gum instead of fondant made ones.

My great-neice is having a movie theme bday party and I am going to make the popcorn and movie reel. My ? is: How would real popcorn taste on top of the cake? Just a thought

I think it would taste great! A nice mixture of sweet and salty. I love eating popcorn with chocolate.

Ditto! Sweet. Salty. Scrumptious.

Me too! I think it will be cool. Please post the photos.

I agree it would be really cool.

I would simply make sure the popcorn is the last thing added to the cake, because if it sits on the cake it will attract and or absorb a lot of moisture.

Good luck.

I did a popcorn cake for a church function, and it went over really well! One thing i did though was make the popcorn rk treat style so i could mold it however i want, plus it tasted even better!

I don't have the pictures on here ( at least i don't think so! ) but they are on my blog if you care to take a peek

good luck, I am sure it is going to be fabulous!

Could you maybe do a fondant bowl or those cute red/white stripe bags out of fondant and then fill them with real popcorn? That way it wouldn't affect the taste of the whole cake, but still be really cute.

Make sure you let the popcorn cool so you don't melt anything on the cake!

A little off subject, but does anyone have instructions on how to make popcorn out of gumpaste/fondant? (I dont want to make them out of marshmellows...they are for a fake cake)

I love the idea of making a fondant bowl too and just filling it with popcorn! That would be cool!
