Billiard Ball Cupcakes

So let me clue you in on a little secret of mine. If my baking project requires a lot of time for decorating I — gasp — use cake mix from a box and store-bought frosting. I have no problems admitting to that and I defend my choice! ;) So these cupcakes are Betty Crocker white cake mix and vanilla frosting. No big recipe to post today! They are decorated with colored sugars and white Necco wafers. Use a little black frosting to write the numbers and you’ll be good to go. I even went as far as to find out which number goes on which color ball — so they are all accurate!

Decorating idea from Hello, Cupcake!

    Whoa… you even made sure the colors matched up??? That’s very type-A of you – although some of the numbers aren’t lined up with the stripes quite right………. just kidding!!!

      That depends on your current skill level. I thought these were easy to make.

      Wherever packages of Necco wafers are sold. I got mine at Walgreens. Pick the white ones out of the package.

      They really aren’t that difficult. Make cupcakes, frost them, and dip them in sprinkles — attach a white Necco w/ the billiard ball # and you’re done!

    These are fabulous md I want to make them for my husband’s birthday. How did you do the striped? Did you create a template? Also, where did you find maroon sprinkles?
