Now, mix sweet tooth, love of festivals, and an excuse to start the celebration; this popcorn is the star of your movie night parties and any kind of get-together: my take on caramel popcorn, with all due playful modifications, remodeled into the crunchiest, colorfully decorated, and definitely most irresistible birthday party treat anyone ever had the fortune of coming across-Homemade Birthday Cake Popcorn. Just imagine fluffy popcorn swathed in a gooey marshmallow glaze infused with Funfetti cake mix, and then finished off with a confetti explosion of rainbow sprinkles. It is shockingly easy to make but yields a snack that is as dazzling as it is fun. Perfect for a birthday, game night, or any time one desires something sweet and whimsical!
