- Gelatin Flavored Popcorn (Allrecipes) -- the Peach Caramel Popcorn from Super Nintendo World sounds really interesting and I kind of want to try making it? This might be a way to approach it. Freeze dried peach powder could also work, a la this recipe. Apparently the real stuff is very peach forward, with not a lot of caramel. Looks to have more of a dry coating than a candy type coating.

Piping and decorating techniques
- The first picture on this page is a pretty idea :D looks like you don't even need to change tips either. http://savorysweetlife.com/
2010/03/buttercream-frosting/ looks like a small cake though, no bigger than 8". Start with outside edge and work inward. (I used this buttercream for rose + honey cupcakes, it is good) - such a pretty piping job. https://bojongourmet.com/
