Instructions
Making White Chocolate Goal Posts
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Next, continue in increments of 15 seconds until the mixture is smooth.
- Dip a piping tip into the melted chocolate and trace the goal posts onto a piece of parchment paper. Allow chocolate to cool and harden. (You can also pour the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag, snip a tiny corner, and pipe from there.)
Making Vanilla Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Beat until well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake in preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Making Frosting
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, until frosting reaches desired consistency.
- Divide frosting into two bowls. Tint the second half of frosting green with food coloring. Leave the first bowl half white.
Decorating the Football Field Topping
- To assemble cupcakes, frost half of each cupcake with white frosting. Immediately dip the frosted cupcake into a shallow bowl of rainbow non-pareils. so that the white half is covered with sprinkles. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
- Frost the remaining half of each cupcake with green frosting. Use a grass decorating tip (or a large star tip) to pipe grass onto the cupcakes. Place a football candy sprinkle in the center of each cupcake.
- Carefully insert the white chocolate goal posts into the grass frosting.
- Enjoy!
