Football Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • One dozen of your favourite chocolate cupcakes
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp green gel food coloring
  • 5-6 oz. brown/chocolate fondant
  • White decorating frosting

Instructions

  1. Yields: 12 cupcakes
  2. Before you start decorating, ensure that all of your cupcakes are cool to the touch.
  3. Begin by making your “grass” buttercream. With an electric mixer, add butter, confectioners’ sugar and milk. Beat on low, gradually increasing it to high.
  4. Once the ingredients are well-combined and smooth, add green gel food coloring and mix until completely tinted.
  5. Assemble your frosting bag so that it has Wilton tip #233 and scoop your buttercream frosting into it.
  6. Frost each cupcake so that it looks like grass.
  7. Separate your brown fondant into 12 1-inch spheres. Mold them so that they have football shapes.
  8. With your white decorating frosting, pipe out the football’s “grip/laces” on each fondant piece.
  9. Place one football fondant piece on each cupcake. Serve and enjoy!
