Ranked #10,572 in Food & Cooking, #190,011 overall

IT's FOOTBALL time! Let the party begin!

It's time for football parties! As hostess, the last thing you want to do is all the work, while everyone else watches the game. So don't! Instead of making a mess with plates and forks...serve football theme cupcakes and "no mess required!". A cupcake requires no plates, no forks and most of the time no mess! Instead of you serving pieces of cake to everyone...cupcakes serve themselves while you watch the game! So bake a batch of cupcakes, decorate them with your favorite football teams logo and enjoy the game while you enjoy the good food while you enjoy knowing you won't have a mess to clean up!

Gotta have football cupcake liners!

A cupcake's "plate".

Forget the plates... have cupcakes!

IT AIN'T A PARTY WITHOUT LOTS OF FOOTBALL CUPCAKES!!!!. YEAH TEAM! GO TEAM...GO GET ME A CUPCAKE!

All football cupcakes MUST have icing!

Icing and toppers, that is!

A fun way to decorate a football cupcake is to use icing. Here is my favorite recipes for icing. Butter cream or cream cheese. Both are fantastic and both are able to be colored and used in piping tubes. Just fill the tubes and let your imagination take control! Add some favor decorations and your work is done! Go enjoy the game!

Here are my favorite icing recipes. I was raised on the Buttercream icing and I raised my kids on that and the Cream Cheese version! Everyone loved my icing!
