Instructions

Here are the steps you will take to decorate your football cupcakes. The first step is to bake chocolate cupcakes. We used our favorite boxed cake mix for this.

Step 1

Using the chocolate decorating icing and the No.21 (star) tip begin at one side of the cupcake and make a swirl that becomes wider in the center and tapers back in at the other side. In full disclosure, I used regular chocolate frosting for this. I knew I had a chocolate tube, however, after attaching the tip I quickly realized that it was almost empty, thankfully I had a tub of chocolate icing in the refrigerator that I could use instead.

Step 2

Using the white decorating icing and the No.5 (small circle) tip make a short line down the center of the chocolate football and then a few cross marks over the top.

Step 3

Using the kelly green decorating icing and the No.233 (grass) tip pipe small sections of grass around the football.
