This pull-apart cupcake cake makes it simple to group your cupcakes into the shape of a football, then pipe frosting over the entire collection as if it were a sheet cake!
#2 – Cupcakes With Team Pennants & Footballs

#4 – Gridiron Kid Cupcakes
Using the round cupcake top itself as the player’s face, outline a football helmet using team colors. Then, add facial features to creating individual football players. If you write in their numbers, you can set up your display like the team is on the field ready to rumble.
#5 – Tootsie Roll Football Cupcakes
The most unique thing about this cupcake is the fact that the candy football toppers are made out of Tootsie Rolls. The classic Tootsie Roll is a unique alternative to using chocolate almonds or fruit rollups. All you need is a microwave and a rolling pin.
#6 – Color-Coordinated Team Football Cupcakes
Start with muffin cups in fun colors, then use a “grass” style decorating tip for the green grass on top of each cupcake — available at most craft stores. Add either homemade or store-bought football cake toppers to personalize your football cupcakes. (Detailed decorating instructions here.)
#7 – Team Color Football Cupcakes
The best part about this cupcake recipe is the white chocolate base that sets them apart from all the rest. Then, ice the top of the cupcakes with frosting tinted in team colors using food coloring. Finally, wrap a ribbon in the team’s color around the cupcake to finish off your masterpiece. These tasty treats are definitely a work of art!
#8 – Crafty Paper & Laces Football Cupcakes
This is another good one for those who enjoy doing crafts. Start some new shoelaces and a few sheets of football-textured craft paper (found at any scrapbook or craft supply store). After baking the cupcakes as usual, simply add the crafty football touches after the fact… including actual laces!
#9 – Peanut Butter & Chocolate Football Cupcakes
Here’s a special recipe for making peanut butter cupcakes, topped with chocolate icing and a chocolate candy football!

If there is ONE thing I like… it's C H A N G E! The four seasons and major holidays are my favorite times of the year to recharge — and redecorate. I mostly like to share frugal DIY ideas for seasonal home decorating and party planning (for both, indoors and outside). Because who doesn't enjoy entertaining at home?! But even if you don't host many parties, I think you'll appreciate my DIY hacks and clever ways to decorate your house for the major holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
