Method
 

Make the Cupcake Batter
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In the bowl of a Kitchen aid mixer add in the cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil, sour cream and water. Mix on medium speed until all combined.
Bake the cupcakes
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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 cupcake
    Add the chocolate dipped strawberry football to the top.
    Sprinkle with green sprinkles if desired.
