Game Day Baseball Cupcakes

Game Day Baseball Cupcakes – Everyday can be game day with a batch of these adorable baseball cupcakes. Fun and easy to make with the kiddos and oh so delectable!

The first time I made these cupcakes, I couldn’t believe how adorable they came out. Especially since they were fun to make with my son Josh and on top of that, how delicious they tasted. We brought them over to our friends house to watch a Yankee game. (Big Yankee fans in my house) Everyone who was there loved them and were the biggest hit for sure. Doesn’t matter what team you are rooting for, a baseball looks the same. Bake and decorate these, you’ll love them like we all do. Enjoy!

  3. Scoop batter into the cupcake liners about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, check with toothpick, should come out clean or with dry crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
  5. Sprinkle powdered sugar onto cutting board, roll out fondant into 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Use the cookie cutter to cut out 22 circles.
  7. Squeeze cookie icing into the piping bag. Pipe out the lines of the baseball onto the fondant piece.
  8. Allow to dry while you finish the cupcakes.

Making the frosting:
