Football Cupcakes

    Bake the cupcakes:

    • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs 1 at a time, beating until combined.
    • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the batter in two batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Add the green food colouring and mix until combined.
    • Line a mini cupcake pan with green cupcake liners and fill the pan ¾ of the way full with the batter.
    • Bake at 350F for 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.

    Make the buttercream:

    • Beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, then beat for 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.
    • Dye the buttercream a vibrant shade of green.
    • Place the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a grass-style #233 piping tip.

    To decorate:

    • Hold the piping bag vertically above the cupcakes and begin to pipe grass onto the cupcakes.
    • Top with a tootsie roll football and enjoy!

    Super Bowl Puppy Chow
