One
of our family pastimes in the summer is good All-American baseball.
We not only love to attend some pro and semi-pro games in our area,
but also
both of the girls play softball and/or t-ball during the late spring
and early summer.
So
this year when my 7 year old had a season wrap-up party and I was
assigned a dessert to bring, I HAD to make little baseball
cupcakes. The problem was I had a 3 week old at the time, and there
was no way I could dedicate a lot of time to whipping something up
from scratch.
Enter
Pillsbury. I was able to find a red and white cake mix, white
frosting and a Wilton Icing Writer in bright red. Except for the
baking and actual decorating, everything was done for me.
I
quickly baked up 2 dozen cupcakes
I
simply frosted them in white, and then added the red stitching lines
The
frosting writer made it easy since I didn't even have to drag out my
food color or piping bags. The stitches were just two arches with
little carrots(?) running along them?
I
stacked them on my cupcake display tower, and ta-dah! Less than 30
minutes worth of work, and about $6 in supplies, I had some pretty
custom looking cupcakes!
Let's
PLAY BALL!!
