Lets’ make some cool soccer cupcakes!
These cupcakes are fairly easy to make, even for the beginning decorator. I’m going to give you all of the tips, tricks, and recipes to help you make some fabulous soccer (or for the rest of the world “football) cupcakes for the players in your life.
Just a disclaimer on this activity, I have given a link to the best buttercream frosting recipe. I highly recommend homemade. Trying to pipe out store-bought frosting is very frustrating and won’t yield the results you want. Also, make sure you SIFT the powdered sugar because clumping will stop up the tip.

Cool Soccer Cupcake Tutorial
Step 1
Bake the cupcakes and let them cool down completely.
Step 2
After cupcakes are baked, scoop out the center of the cupcake with a melon baller.
Step 3
Make sure to wash the soccer balls, and then stick one in the center of the cupcake.
Step 4
Using the grass icing tip #233, hold your tip at an almost 90-degree angle. Start the grass closest to your soccer ball and work outward. Set your tip close to the cupcake and soccer ball and begin to gently squeeze. Pull up and away, and remove the pressure to the bag when the grass is to the desired length. Begin your next cluster of grass close to the previous cluster.
Keep creating grass around the cupcake, working from the center out, until it is completely covered.
