. . . usually done with mini marshmallows . . . cut an "X" on one end . . . and use some yellow coloring to achieve a buttered effect . . . http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=67830

Thanks everyone for the tips. I think I might can cut up marshmallows or just buy candy LOL
Cindy, I havent seen the candy popcorn at the Dollar Tree but there are several close to me so when I go to town I will check them out.
Thanks again for the tips.
Candy lady, can you elaborate a bit more one the cutter and method? I need to make a lot of popcorn and I would love a more simple method...
Are you talking the pink graduated size wilton ones? and what do you mean when you say cut out flower portion.... details, details.......thank you so much!

i use mini marshmallows..
take scissors (like stated above) make a snip to make to sections, then I snip again on one of the section to get three parts..you can also snip bogth sides to have four parts..i then take a little petal dust in a warm yellow color put it in a baggie then put the marshmallows in it and shake.
got the idea from CakeCentral for an Oscar party:
rolled little balls of white fondant. Then I rolled out some more fondant flat. I cut out a bunch of the little flowers from the Wilton plunge cutter set and then plunged them into the balls of fondant. The plunger pushed into the ball and they stayed together that way. Then we misted the whole thing yellow food colouring mixed with corn syrup and warm water. I didn't make tonnes of popcorn, I left the hump on the cake so that it was raised in the middle. (I just sprayed mine with wilton yellow spray ever so lightly) Pat
I used mini marshamallows and BC. I snipped the ends 4 times or so and then squished them. You can also squish a few together for bigger kernels. It was pretty quick, then go in and add yellow and brwon food coloring. I will try to add my pic here but if that doesn't work here is the link!

I have used real popcorn. I even recently used it on cookies shaped as a popcorn bag and was able to shrink wrap them!!! Good Luck
I used the fondant ball and flower method with the plunge cutter. I left pretty good instructions under my picture I think. There weren't any pictures of popcorn cakes here when I made mine so I had to fly by the seat of my pants. I think the marshmallow method might be easier.

I did it with fondant, that I dusted with Daffodil Yellow petal dust.
GrandmaG-I used white paper cups(not waxy ones) and striped them with a red marker using a ruler along the lip to keep lines straight ,then cut them in half to height of ccake ..My 9 year old made popcorn stickers on microsoft word( 'cuz I can't), Hee Hee and that's about it. Glad you like them !
