Super Bowl Sundae

Like so many other people yesterday, I was watching the Super Bowl and eating a lot of delicious food. I love watching sport, preferably live, but I will happily settle for the comfort of the lounge room, a big television and good company. I had all three of these things yesterday and it was a great afternoon minus the fact I was hoping the Patriots would win. My contribution to the Super Bowl viewing was the inspiration I mentioned on Friday and came in the form of Super Bowl sundae cupcakes. 

I used the chocolate chip cupcake recipe found here and combined it with the simple vanilla buttercream frosting I found here. I was really happy that my cupcakes did not come away from their cases this time. I think this was because they were baked for the whole 25 minutes. For the frosting I folded in approximately three tablespoons of sprinkles for a subtle confetti effect. I used my newly purchased ice-cream scoop to place the frosting on top of the cupcakes. I could have possibly done with a bigger ice-cream scoop or more frosting, but I think the result wasn't too shabby.

The finishing touches to my Super Bowl sundae cupcakes were the strawberry wafer and the Haigh's chocolate freckle on top, which was part of a farewell present from Australia. 

Not to be cheesy, but in the spirit of things, I think my Super Bowl sundae cupcakes scored their own touchdown.
