These football cupcakes are some of the easiest cupcakes you will ever make!  They’re a perfect addition to any Super Bowl party! 

Are you a big fan of the Super Bowl?  We watch a lot of college football at our house, but don’t pay much attention to the pros.  However, when the Super Bowl rolls around, we always find a reason to celebrate.  Let’s be honest, it’s mostly for the food!  but I end up watching most of the game, and always cheering for the underdog.
