Use you favorite cupcake recipe and bake up a batch of cupcakes. After the cupcakes cool, add some frosting. Start twisting mini marshmallows to make your pieces of "popcorn."

Place the twisted marshmallows on top of the frosting.

Be sure to cover the entire top of the cupcake with the marshmallows.

Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to a bowl and thin it out with some water. The more water you add the fainter the yellow color will be.

Give your child a small paint brush and the bowl with the thinned food coloring and let them paint the cupcakes!
