Footy Cupcakes

It's September! Footy finals time! Unfortunately, my beloved Saints were eliminated in the first round of the finals and now, a few weeks later, we are stuck watching Collingwood play in the Grand Final! Let's hope that those Cats eat them alive! 

My football cupcakes are easy to make. Choc chip cupcake recipe. Piped green icing for grass. Rolled red marzipan with incisions to create footballs. Simple. 

In the past, I've also located Fads lollies (those lollies that we used to pretend to smoke as cigarettes when we were kids - and yes, still do!) and have cut them to size to create goal posts.

My nephew celebrated his 5th birthday this year and in addition to football cupcakes, I also created some Essendon cupcakes. Needless to say, the kids at his birthday party preferred the footy fields!




The Royal Melbourne Show is currently running at the Showgrounds. They have a vast collection of beautifully decorated cakes including wedding cakes and themed cakes. My personal favourite is The Wizard of Oz cake! Absolutely fantastic! LOVE!
