For more delicious birthday treats, try our birthday cake ice cream! You can serve it in a big bowl, or roll it into balls for a fun handheld treat. Either way, it’s going to result in some sticky fingers, which we think is part of the fun. This birthday cake popcorn is a fun treat for kids, but everyone loves it. It’s not just for birthdays either. It’s a delicious sweet snack for wedding showers, baby showers, movie nights, and celebrations of all kinds! You only need five simple ingredients to make this cake batter popcorn. Here’s everything you need:
Popped popcorn – plain, freshly popped kernels is what we use. You’ll want to avoid the buttery salty varieties for this recipe. Marshmallows – any size or variety of marshmallows will do the trick! We usually use mini marshmallows because they melt quickly. Vanilla cake mix – store-bought vanilla cake mix is what we use. Use gluten-free if needed. Vanilla extract – vanilla enhances and complements all the other flavors. Milk – you can use any milk or non-dairy milk alternative. Sprinkles – your favorite sprinkles for all the birthday fun!
You can enjoy this birthday popcorn as-is or try one of these fun and delicious add-ins:
Add a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the marshmallow mixture for a little nutty flavor. Toss in a couple handfuls of salted peanuts for a salty peanut crunch! Once the mixture has cooled, sprinkle on some mini white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
This funfetti popcorn is the perfect party dessert or birthday cake alternative. You can easily shape it into a cake and stick some candles in it!
It’s also a fun sweet snack for movie nights, girls’ nights, or celebrations of all kinds.
And if you happen to have a furry friend whose birthday you want to celebrate, try making this dog birthday cake!
