Total Time:2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 13.25 oz box Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups chocolate frosting
  • ½ cup white frosting

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then, follow the directions on the cake mix box, and mix the ingredients together—water, oil, eggs, and the cake mix. Give it a good stir until everything’s nice and smooth.
  • Line your cupcake pan with the cupcake liners. Fill each liner about halfway with the cake batter.
  • Pop them in the oven and bake for about 14-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 hours.
  • Once the cupcakes have cooled, start with the chocolate frosting. Fill a pastry bag with the frosting and attach the 1M frosting tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes in a back-and-forth motion, making a football shape.
  • For the final touch, grab your white frosting and a small round frosting tip. Pipe on the laces to complete the football look.
