Superbowl Sunday is coming up fast and all over North America and
other places people will be cheering on their favorite team. The best
part of Superbowl cakes and cupcakes is that the cake flavor can be
anything you want from snowy white to deep dark chocolate.
Cupcakes are often the best choice for a Superbowl party because people
can help themselves and you don’t have to take time out to cut a cake
from watching the game. You can also make cute cake balls to serve your
guests. There are several fun and fantastic choices for a Superbowl
cake, cupcake, or cake ball design such as:
- A football shaped cake created using an egg shaped pan, fondant covering and icing laces.

the design sides up. You can decorate the cake with brown and white
