A lovely friend was celebrating her pregnancy and we were asked to whip up something fun for her shower. So the ready to pop theme was born complete with a popcorn bar!
For the sweet tooth: mini popcorn tub cupcakes of course. We made chocolate cupcakes topped with mini marshmallows. Then we added a thin layer of vanilla frosting over the cupcakes - just enough for the marshmallows to stay put. Before placing the marshmallow, we dabbed yellow food coloring on them for the 'butter'. Lastly, after thinking about the color story , we picked a red and white theme with yellow accents (just like those adorable vintage popcorn boxes) for the cupcake liner (Printable for the cupcake liner will be available on our Etsy store very soon). After a couple of iterations this is what we designed:
Of course a ready to pop theme isn't complete if you don't have real popcorn so we tried our hand at making popcorn. After a couple of rounds of burnt popcorn, we got it right and were off to the races! We settled on white cheddar, kettle corn, dark chocolate with sea salt, and then a spicy chili pepper popcorn. To add a bit of fun we named them on the signage Cheesy Mama, Sweet Mama(kettle corn), Yummy mama(dark chocolate with sea salt) and Spicy Mama.
The mama to be simply loved the idea and even took the signage for a memento. The "Ready to Pop" theme was really perfect for this fun mama to be!
