These cupcakes where a fun way to kick off the year, especially considering some are footballs!
A friend asked if I could make some sports themed cupcakes for her nephews 5th birthday, given the standard shape of cupcakes and the fact most sports are played with a round ball the idea was a natural progression.
I know footballs aren't round but I think they work anyway, but its the basketball cupcakes that I think are my favourites.
The cupcakes were made with my favourite chocolate cupcake recipe and frosted with chocolate buttercream, then covered in fondant to transform them into baseballs, footballs, soccer balls basketballs, tennis balls and cricket balls.
