Soccer cupcakes...

It's the end of our indoor soccer season around here.
Middle had a great year!
He is really good!

I always make treats on the last game day. I LOVE to bake...and since we aren't allowed to bake anything for the schools anymore, I take advantage of it where I can :)
So on the final game day, we have pizza, hand out the pictures and trophies...and have something yummy! :)
*******
Anyway......
I thought they turned out REALLY cute, so I wanted to pass their design along.

It is just a basic white cupcake mix...
My frosting is a butter based frosting...and yes, I do mean butter. Stay away from margarine. Bad stuff.

*2 cups powdered sugar
*1/2 stick butter
*1 1/2 vanilla or almond flavoring
*2 TBS hot water
{then to make the chocolate...just add 2 TBS of unsweetened cocoa powder to a separated part of the frosting.}

Beat it all together.
When you think you are done...beat some more.
It will get nice and fluffy and airy, if it is done right.

I simply frosted with the white frosting.
Then I put the chocolate in a ziplock bag...cut the corner off, and decorated.

They took a little time, but the kids went crazy when they saw them!

Go ahead, DON'T BE ASHAMED, WIPE THE DROOL!
