Superbowl Cupcakes - footballs made with Tootsie Rolls!

Wow, cant believe it guys! Just found out from my brother that NFL players are getting into the cupcake craze also!! Seems that a starting player on the Minnesota Vikings is a big fan of the show Cupcake Wars, and I think this is awesome.

Check out my brother’s article about the player and how he got involved with Cupcake Wars…

Sick of making holiday-themed desserts? Make your man happy and make some of these cupcakes for Monday Night Football!


I made Chocolate Cupcakes filled with Marshmallow Cream, and topped off with Vanilla Buttercream! YUMMM!

1. First unwrap all of the Tootsie Rolls... and microwave all of them on HIGH for 5 seconds. (This makes them more pliable and easier to roll out) 

2. Next, roll out the tootsie rolls with a rolling pin. Use an exacto knife to cut into the tootsie rolls, to make a football shape. If any of the tootsie rolls become to hard to roll out, simply reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.

3. Pipe white buttercream using a #2 TIP, first make the line down the center of the football, and them make 3 laces across the top of the center line. 

4. Next I injected Oreo Buttercream in the cupcakes, before topping them with the rest of the ButterCream.

5. Next, pipe a large dollop of white buttercream and tint part of the buttercream green for the grass! Enjoy! And eat THESE instead of all that 7 layer dip!!!
