Oscar Popcorn (Marshmallow) Cupcakes

What beats watching the televised Oscars on a Sunday night?
Okay, being at the Oscars. But almost as cool, Oscar cupcakes.


I got the "recipe," or rather the idea, from a pretty awesome cupcake cookbook. I'm usually a fan of finding your own stuff online, but this book was too cool to resist.
Here are some pics from my cupcake fun. Props to my awesome boyfriend who helped lots!

I made 24 cupcakes, but I would advise making a smaller batch...
Also, because the marshmallow popcorn tops take up so much room, you don't need to make the "cake" of the cupcakes as tall. In fact, the author of the recipe book chose to make mini-cupcakes.
Below is a closer look at what the "popcorn" looks like. You simply cut a small marshmallow into three pieces and assemble (with icing) those parts into a sort of three-leaf clover with an uncut marshmallow as a base/stem. I used yellow and white marshmallows for the "popcorn" look.
