Basketball Cupcakes

Late Posting but Happy Birthday Jamal. The Basketball Cupcakes came out well but were rushed nonetheless. I know you enjoyed them! 


*Note: not all the cupcakes were basketballized! 

How to make these: 

You will need: Fondant, Tip #3 from Wilton, Buttercream Icing, Orange Gel Dye from Wilton, Black icing gel (or black licorice laces, depending on what you prefer).

Using the tip of Tip#3 will give you the rippled effect of the basketball. Adding the black icing gel or the licorice laces will give the basketball lines. Using a gumpaste tool, you can create the crevices to pipe in the black gel, OR you can improvise like I did and use something else.

Overall, this is an easy project. 

Happy Baking,

Ashley
