Make-Ahead and Storage:
How far in advance can I make a cupcake?
Cupcakes will stay fresh for 3-4 days after baking.

How do you decorate a basketball cupcake?
Making a basketball design is pretty simple. Frost your cupcakes with orange frosting. With brown (chocolate) frosting or black icing – use a writing tip to make a cross pattern over the orange frosting. Now, make a semi-circle on either side of the cross with the curved section pointing to the center of the cupcake.
