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!
Hello, are the Essendon cup cakes just red, black and white marzipan??...
ReplyDeleteYep! First, I used a circular cutter for the black marzipan, then I cut a 2cm strip of red marzipan and used the same cutter to get the curves so that it fit nicely onto the cupcake. A number cutter was then used on white marzipan and placed on top of the stripe. The marzipan for the stripe and number should be rolled a bit thinner than the black so that they can sit neatly on top.
