We live on Long Island and baseball is very popular here so I’m sharing a cute way to make cupcakes that look like a baseball. And it doesn’t matter which team you root for, because baseballs look alike and the recipe is easy to make with a cake mix and a simple topping.
However, the best part of the cupcake should be the red stripes. Soft and delicious and a lot of fun to make with the kids. As it is the start of summer, they would also be perfect to accompany a glass of raspberry honey iced tea.
Enjoy these baseball cupcakes and don’t forget to pin them for later for future reference!
