It's a Cupcake Battle Royale

I think you all know me pretty well.

Any time is a great time for sweets...especially cupcakes!

This past Saturday we were home for a rare Alabama football game on television (instead of being at the game) and, when there's a Bama game on tv, there's a Bama party.

In fact, I watched a lot of college football in general (after watching Delaney play some softball), and I decided that it was a good day to make some college football-themed cupcakes.

I made some fun Alabama cupcakes...


And then I made a Boilermakers cupcake for my Purdue fan and friend, Phats...

And, even though it was hard to do so, I made a Notre Dame cupcake for Delaney (as a reward for her playing softball so hard all day long). Sorry that I couldn't make Notre Dame win a game for her (they are baaaad this year)...



And then I had to have my Bama cupcakes involved in a "Battle Royale" with their opponents for the day.
So, the chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting (the "good guys," aka the Crimson Tide) did battle with the chocolate cupcake with the chocolate frosting (the Mississippi State Bulldogs)...

It turned, as expected, into a pretty ugly thrashing, and there was only one cupcake left standing...

Phats--
Yay!!! I hoped you'd like it!! (btw, the Purdue cupcake was very yummy)

If you lived anywhere near Bama, I'd probably make you fat (or you'd have to play a lot more tennis to keep the pounds off!)

YUM!!! But where's the Razorback cupcake??

Cheryl Wray said...

Jenster--
LOL I know!! I should have made a Razorback cupcake AND a Texas Longhorn one. (I guess I'll just have to wait until Bama and Texas are in the national championship game for that one.) But Woo Pig Sooie anyway!
