Baseball Cupcakes...

This crazy kid pictured above had his end of the season party for baseball and I volunteered to bring cupcakes... I was just going to do plan ole cupcakes, but got to thinking about how easy it would be to make them into baseballs, so that's what I did...
I debated about doing just red lines and no laces, but wanted them to have the laces on the ball. I also thought about jut piping the laces on, but I thought the licorice would be more fun. So, I ended up pulling out my trusty X-acto knife. I made little slices down the outer edges of a strip of 3 pull-n-peel licorice pieces (see above) and then pulled out every other little sliced piece with tweezers. I liked the result and they were a hit with the kids!
