Sports cupcake ideas
To make the cupcakes even more special, add candy balls on top: bubble gum tennis balls, chocolate footballs or candy golf balls. You’ll find them in most candy stores, and they dress up simple cupcakes in seconds. People often spend hours decorating cupcakes, when all the kids really want is the candy!
Tips for better cupcake toppers
- Print at actual size. Choose “Actual size” or 100% in your printer settings so each topper fits a 2″ circle punch.
- Use cardstock so the toppers stand up straight.
- Make them double-sided: print two copies and glue them back to back with the stick in between.
- Add them just before serving, because paper can soften if it sits in frosting for hours.
- Only want one sport? Each sheet mixes several sports, so print a few copies and use just the balls you need.
