Thank you so much for all the help to make the popcorn!! My first attempt at Swiss meringue buttercream turned out good, but I wasn’t prepared for how finicky it would be about temperature for piping. I would probably use American buttercream next time just to make it easier on myself. I used a Wilton 14 and kept it vertical and pressed into the tray until it “popped”. The cake is fresh milled whole wheat einkorn – very light and fluffy and no belly aches for my gluten sensitive kiddos.

    Amazing update! They look so real! 👏

    Curious about the gluten sensitivity, I can’t have any kind of wheat. Your kids are ok with this kind of flour? Could you tell me about it please?

    Easy popcorn. Take mini marshmallows cut and X on the top w scissors . Take some yellow chalk, grate it on a micro plane , toss in ziplock w marshmallows, Bam! Popcorn

  8. Looks amazing op! Agreed on the temp of buttercream. One of the shops I worked at, we would use 50/50 (butter and shortening)American buttercream for any kind of detailed decor work just because it held but better.

    True, if you’re currently eating gluten. I just can’t put myself through that pain for a test. I wish I had done it when I was still eating gluten. It unfortunately won’t work for me now, but thank you!

  11. Oh yay so glad to see how these turned out! Really well done with the popcorn

    You did amazing (seriously awesome) but personally I’d just want real popcorn on top! Maybe even kettle corn. Yum. 🤤
