I&#8217;ve always wanted to do a popcorn cake, but wanted to do it way differently than the ones I have already seen on the internet. The best way to kick a cake up a notch? Make it defy gravity- no biggie. Surprisingly, making antigravity cakes is super easy . . . it&#8217;s all just an illusion that something is floating or pouring, or whatever the cake is doing. As I say in the video, I love popcorn. Seriously. I&#8217;ve actually already made a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SpbyP3PzDyE\" target=\"_blank\">popcorn cake<\/a>&#8211; a cake made out of only popcorn and chocolate candies- but for this cake, I wanted to do something I hadn&#8217;t seen anyone else ever do. I&#8217;ve seen the popcorn kernels made from marshmallows and fondant, and I&#8217;ve seen caramel corn cakes. But never have I seen a gravity defying popcorn cake!\u00a0 I found my air popper at Canadian Tire, but you can grab one <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gFeohF\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Despite how tricky this cake looks, it&#8217;s actually pretty easy to make and assemble. I went with white and yellow 8&#8243; round cakes on the inside, simply because I thought the red would make it overkill.\u00a0 You can choose any color you want to make the cake batter- it colors really well. You can do a 100% fondant covered cake if you choose, but since most people just peel it off and don&#8217;t eat it, I usually try not to use too much of it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339title.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8916\" title=\"popcorn cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339title-1024x576.png\" alt=\"antigravity popcorn cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339title-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339title-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339title.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have fun making this cake and make sure you make extra popcorn if you&#8217;re a popcorn fanatic like me or there will be none left for the cake from all the snacking. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>How to Make a Gravity Defying Popcorn Cake (Cooking Fever Cake):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients and Materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prepared 8&#8243; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XaNELscDtms\" target=\"_blank\">Vanilla cake<\/a> colored yellow and white<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rjqOTM5icOE\" target=\"_blank\">Vanilla buttercream<\/a> coloured red and white<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f6Tlj0\" target=\"_blank\">White Fondant<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Yellow Fondant<\/li>\n<li>Blue Fondant<\/li>\n<li>Red Americolor Gel Paste<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gpN0VP\" target=\"_blank\">White Americolor Coloring<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f6Yyat\" target=\"_blank\">Fondant\/Gum Paste Decorating Tool Kit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gpI2sr\" target=\"_blank\">Fondant Smoother\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gFeohF\" target=\"_blank\">Popcorn air popper<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Popcorn kernels<\/li>\n<li>Popcorn containers<\/li>\n<li>White chocolate<\/li>\n<li>Cake Dowel<\/li>\n<li>Cardboard cake boards<\/li>\n<li>Letter cutters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339facebook.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8915\" title=\"Popcorn Cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339facebook-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Gravity defying popcorn cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339facebook-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339facebook-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4339facebook.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pop the popcorn kernels as per popper instructions. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Stack the cakes and fill with white buttercream.

Allow to harden before inserting into the cake. Ensure that there is at least 3&#8243;-4&#8243; of doweling without popcorn attached to it so that it can be inserted fully into the cake.<\/li>\n<li>Insert dowel into the cake for the anti-gravity effect! The plastic popcorn container should be supported via the dowel and cardboard.<\/li>\n<li>Cover top of cake with additional popcorn, attaching it to the side of the cake as it is &#8220;falling&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Place onto large cake board, and if desired, add an additional container of spilled popcorn beside the cake.<\/li>\n<li>Cake should be consumed within 2-3 days and kept in the fridge in a sealed container or wrapped in plastic wrapped.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8902\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8902\" data-text=\"How to Make a Gravity Defying Popcorn Cake (Cooking Fever Cake)\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8902\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D8902&amp;linkname=How%20to%20Make%20a%20Gravity%20Defying%20Popcorn%20Cake%20%28Cooking%20Fever%20Cake%29\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I am showing you how to make a gravity defying Popcorn Cake based on my current favourite app, Cooking Fever!
