Football Season is upon us!! How cute are these! My daughter Emily created these chocolate dipped strawberry football cupcakes!
Making the football cupcakes
A yellow cake mix with some secret ingredients and an orange cream cheese frosting is the what makes these outstanding! Your football lover will be amazed at the scrumptiousness of these babies!
Watching the Super Bowl together
Who knew you could turn a strawberry into a darling football you would want to eat!!
We are always excited for Super Bowl every year.
We love to gather as a family to watch the game (commercials) and just hang out and eat all kinds of delicious foot ball snacks! These chocolate dipped strawberry cupcakes are a must have every year!
Dipping the strawberries to look like footballs
The footballs are chocolate dipped strawberries with white frosting laces. It is so easy to make these nuggets!
Microwaving the Ghirardelli chocolate melts slowly ensured you won’t burn the chocolate.
Adding the white laces is easy using a tube of Wiltons’s white icing.
Who wouldn’t love these at their next tailgate party? Scrumptiousness!
Check out my other post on Football food! You will find football works of art that are easy to do!!
These little football cupcakes are so moist and yummy and perfect for you super bowl bash!

Bake the cupcakes
Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 min or until done. Let cool
Dipping Strawberries
Rinse berries and dry them. Make sure they are not wet or the chocolate will not adhere and seize on you. While cupcakes are baking, add chocolate to microwave safe glass bowl. Begin melting chocolate at 50% power for 2 min, stir and repeat until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Holding the strawberry by the stem dip strawberries into the melted chocolate and twist slightly to cover most of the berry. Let excess drip off and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Let the chocolate set. Once set use the tube of white icing to create football laces.
Cream cheese orange frosting
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and zested orange until fluffy. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to your desired consistency. Frost each cupcakeAdd the chocolate dipped strawberry football to the top. Sprinkle with green sprinkles if desired.
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Living in the heart of the SEC and being a huge Alabama fan, these are right up my alley. :) They look delicious! This would be great to link-up to Create It Thursday for this week…it's live now! Hope you'll join us!
Your cupcakes are adorable! Gotta love football season:@)
