Instructions
- Baseball Cupcakes

Use an offset spatula to smooth it and make sure everything is covered. 4 Unravel licorice wheels and use to mimic the pattern of a baseball. Cut to size and drape two semicircles on either side of the cupcakes. Cut short red hash marks for stitching.
- Basketball Cupcakes
- 1 Using an offset spatula, crumb coat your cupcakes with orange frosting. 2 Chill in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight. 3 Frost your crumb-coated cupcakes with a thick coat of orange frosting. Use an offset spatula to smooth it and make sure everything is covered. 4 Unravel licorice wheels and use to mimic the pattern of a basketball. Cut to size and place one across the cupcake and a 2nd across the cupcake the opposite way to form a “t”. Drape two semicircles on either side.
- DRESS IT UP You can gently press a meat mallet into the frosting so the texture resembles the dimpled look of a basketball.
