Grandpa Ron is famous for his popcorn. Movies are even better when you're eating Grandpa Ron's popcorn while watching them. So several months ago I found this popcorn/movie themed stuff (bucket, napkins, butter server, coasters - and a bowl I didn't get but wished I would have!) and knew that Tiffani would make some sort of gift basket out of it for his birthday. Of course my cupcake girl had the perfect cupcake in mind all along! :)
We started with this... simple marshmallows
And cut and "glued" them together... (Tiffani's new personal quote... "Frosting is my glue")
And then "glued" all those pieces of popcorn to mini cupcakes to make ALOT of popcorn (about 260 individual pieces of popcorn)!!
Here's a close up of a few popcorn pieces on the cupcake...
And here is the finished gift. This is where the popcorn bowl that I didn't purchase would have come in handy, but spreading them around the tray worked too.
And yes that is real melted butter in there. :)

Of course the horses were visited...
And horseshoes were played... That's a ringer - by Les! ;)
And beautiful clouds/sunset on the way home.
Happy Birthday Grandpa Ron!
