Popcorn cupcakes

I made 40 of these for my nieces carnival birthday party. They are cupcakes with mini marshmellows on top. I slid the cupcakes into a liner that I colored red and printed 'popcorn' stickers on my computer. Thanks to fellow CCers for inspiration and ideas.

I cut the marshmallows in a criss cross pattern and then just smushed the bottom part that I didn't cut (hope that is clear). I was planning on 'painting' on some yellow for the butter and then sprinking some large sugar for salt, but ran out of time! The liners I used were the Wilton candy cups (bought them at Michael's). They were the perfect size for the cupcakes (which I left in thier liners), and just used a red marker to color the stripes. Thanks for the comments! Let me know if you have m...
