I was asked to make these football cupcakes a few weeks ago for a friend who loves my cakes, and well, can you say no to a friend who loves your cakes? I certainly have a hard time of it, that’s for sure. And so, my little football toppers were born. When to use these […]

I… love this cake. I was asked to make it for a friend’s baby shower last summer, basing it off of a design by Cakes by May. Isn’t it just the sweetest?
