For the past year or so, Josh has been gifting cake and cupcake decorating books to me because, even though I'm not artistic, I strongly suspect that I would have been a great cake decorator had I not chosen to be a psychologist. But I never get a chance to decorate anything! So for the Super Bowl, my mom and I decided we would make special football player cupcakes in honor of the Packers.
We started with yellow cake batter, frosted green and then dipped in green decorator sugar:
For the football player heads, we used vanilla wafer cookies, back-to-back and stuck together with frosting. Then I dipped them in green frosting and sprinkled them with green decorator sugar. My mom had the genius idea of propping them up in a wire cooling rack so that they could harden without smearing:
Then we used white chocolate-covered pretzels for the facemasks. It kind of ended up looking like all the players had beards, but I thought it was a cute idea.
Then I piped on some yellow stripes and numbers. I made Josh find out the numbers of the starters so we could have an accurate player representation. (Please ignore my scruffiness, I hadn't yet gotten ready for church).
Eating while wearing my cheese head during the game: (I don't have a Packers sweatshirt so I wore my UWisconsin sweatshirt instead).
Josh also contributed by making tons of food (enchiladas, green chili, Spanish rice, and beans). He also cooks while wearing his jammies:
