In a unintentional effort to allow birthdays to last an entire month, we will be having The Bear and The Princess' 9th birthday party tomorrow. We went back and forth about whether to have a party, what kind of party, one or two parties... yada yada yada. We did this until this past Tuesday - yes. This past Tuesday. Four days ago. On Tuesday the kids finally decided that they wanted a party and I finally started planning. We decided on a movie theme birthday and I sent out panicked emails to the parents of the children they wanted to invite. Thankfully, those parents excepted my apologetic pleas and said that their children would love to come. Once I knew we had kids coming, I got around to the details. If we are having a movie themed party, you need popcorn right? So off I went to Target to hopefully find the really cool popcorn containers that I saw there ages ago..... Thankfully, they still had them. One piece of the puzzle done.... Next I needed a cool cake or cupcake for the party. Because yes, I am just that crazy - or - as my friend told me today when I asked her how I get myself into these things - I am an overachiever. Fair enough....that might have been code for crazy, but I will take it. :-) I found the coolest recipe for "popcorn" cupcakes and decided to take on the challenge. Well, let me just say that when I was cutting an "x" in each. individual. mini marshmallow to make them look like pieces of popcorn, I did question my sanity more than usual. My Wonderful Husband even went so far as to confirm my suspicion that I am nuts. But in the end, it was well worth the effort because the finished product turned out SO COOL! Here is a sneaky peaky of my popcorn cupcakes for tomorrow's birthday party....
