Cupcake Factory

I'm not sure how I became the favorite cupcake baker at work. I willingly give away my secret (ONLY use Pilsbury mix and frosting) and encourage others that they too can be master cupcake bakers - after all, if I can do it, ANYONE can. The problem? They don't make them!

We are having a Super Bowl Tailgate Potluck Extravaganza at lunch tomorrow and somehow Pickle talked me into making cupcakes. Since the crew planning the festivities is going all out, I thought I might try making this batch a little more festive than traditional birthday cupcakes.

They are chocolate cupcakes (dirt)with green frosting (first time I used food coloring in frosting....kinda fun!) and sprinkles for texture (grass). I am going to lay them all out on the table like a football field and draw yard lines. Hopefully it works out and I remember to take a picture!

Do one in chocolate frosting and use white frosting to paint the football laces on it (Alex had football cupcakes for his birthday one year)

Ok, so I use the cake mix, no oil, just applesauce. I love those, too!

Looking good.

Funny when I started reading I thought she should have made them the teams colors and then at the bottom the wonderful football turf tie in. You rock, Jenn!
