Big Top Circus Cake with Popcorn cupcakes

My neighbor Deanna loves celebrating with family and awesome cakes to go along with those gatherings.  Her and her daughter, Brittani, asked me to make a cake and coordinating cupcakes for a circus themed party for her grandson, Gavin.  We came up with a really fun cake that looked like a Big Top.  We also created little cupcakes with striped wrappers to look like popcorn cups. I gave each one a spray of yellow to give it that buttery look.
