Not-so-average Gender Reveal Cake

My little sister is expecting a baby soon and needed a cake.  She wanted to have a gender reveal cake to surprise everyone with the news.  I really didn't want to make the same old baby nursery cake or heaven forbid the bum cake.  I wanted something fun and exciting.  My sister and her husband love the movies, especially the popcorn.  My brother-in-law will  make a trip to the theater, buy popcorn, and drive home, just so he can enjoy the "theater popcorn" at home.  

So I made a "Mama's gonna POP" cake for them.  






Edible sparkling stars were made from fondant, lettering hand painted with food coloring.  


The popcorn kernels were made out of fondant, and hand painted.  


For the party reveal, the honors to cut the cake landed to the baby's Nana.  
Boy was she surprised!
