- 18 pre-baked cupcakes in cupcake wrappers Use any flavor you like. I used a vanilla cake mix for my basketball treats
- 1 16 oz. white vanilla icing or cream cheese frosting
- 6-10 drops orange food coloring amount will vary. Add enough to get the orange color you like
- 1 16 oz. chocolate frosting you probably won't use all of this
Allow baked cupcakes to cool
Mix white frosting with orange food coloring until the color is a bright to dark orange coloring
Spread orange frosting on your cooled cupcakes
Place your chocolate (or black) icing in a piping bag with a writing tip
use a writing tip to make a cross pattern over the orange frosting
Now, make 2 semi-circles on either side of the cross with the curved section pointing to the center of the cupcake
*use toothpicks to fix any mistakes you made with the frosting. Toothpicks are a great tool for scooping under icing or straightening the ends of your lines
