Sports Cupcakes

Thanks so much Andrea for having me! I'm thrilled to be sharing these fun and easy Sports Cupcakes with you and your readers! Whether you create these fun Sports Cupcakes for a special Birthday, Father's Day or even your honored athlete, they are always a hit.

I used some basic ingredients to create them, you will need…

• Cupcakes, baked and cooled (learn how I make a cake mix taste like it's made from scratch)
• Buttercream Frosting
• Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
• Wilton Red Coloring
• Wilton Orange Sugar Sparkles
• Wilton Yellow Sanding Sugar
• M&M's, brown
• Decorator bag or Ziploc bag
• Wilton Round tips, #1 and #1L

Baseball Cupcake:

Frost cupcake with white Buttercream Frosting. Mix a small amount of red coloring into white frosting. Add to decorator bag and using a round tip, pipe on baseball laces.

Basketball Cupcake:

Frost cupcake with white Buttercream Frosting. Place Orange sugar in a small bowl. Dip the edge of the cupcake in sugar first (easier that way) and then dip the top. Sprinkle on a little extra sugar. Place Chocolate Buttercream in decorator bag, and using a round tip, pipe on Basketball seams.

Football Cupcake:

Frost cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream. Place white Buttercream Frosting in decorator and with a round tip, pipe on Football seams.

To make Chocolate Buttercream, melt 1/8 – 1/4 cups Chocolate Chips (depending on how much frosting you are flavoring) in microwave, stir until completely melted and add to Buttercream Frosting.

Tennis Cupcake:
