| Dr. Pepper and Movie Theatre Popcorn cakes |

| Happy Birthday Juls! |
Julia's extreme passion for Dr. Pepper and movie theatre popcorn should have made for an easy birthday cake design decision but I was really torn at the thought of giving her an ipad of her very own to eat. In the end, the whole family voted that it had to 'be a Pepper!'.
After doing my research, I chose America's favorite Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix that I 'doctored' with an extra egg yolk, real butter, and Dr. Pepper instead of water. The popcorn cake was also a doctored Duncan Hines Butter Golden cake mix. In keeping with the theme, I couldn't stop at the cake; I added real Philadelphia cream cheese to the store bought frosting. Still lickin' my fingers!
Both cakes were exceptionally moist and tender, melt in your mouth yum; but I should have used a more stable frosting underneath the Dr. Pepper fondant. She got a little saggy when it warmed up. The logo was a challenge, but the hardest part was waiting for the marshmallowy popcorn to cool so I could add the final touch to the movie theatre bucket. Mmmmaarrshmallllows...
