Genevieve found this adorable idea online. Just buy some red and white striped popcorn boxes, cut them into the shape of little liners, and wrap around pre-baked cupcakes (or store bought to save time). Then, apply white icing and top with mini marshmallows that you cut with scissors to look like popcorn! Finally, dust with an edible spray that looks like butter. Now you’ve got “popcorn” cupcakes for your awards show party!
