Children love novelty cakes, particularly three dimensional novelty cakes, and they are easier to make at home than most people think. When it comes to shaped cakes, unless you are a skilled modeler or carver, it is paramount to use a shaped cake mold. Molds are easy to find at any baking or craft store and are generally inexpensive. Once you have the mold, the rest is merely decorating. For football cupcakes, rather than a mold, the magic lies on the use of multi-colored frosting and piping bags. Acquire a half-oval shaped mold made from either metal or heat-resistant plastic (the label on the mold must state that it can withstand up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit). If you cannot find a football shape mold specifically, look for an egg shape as an alternative. Mix the cake batter; boxed cakes or home-made recipes both work.
