Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Celebrating a win? Score big with sweet and sporty ball game cupcakes.

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
Assorted colors Betty Crocker® decorating icing (in 4.25-oz tubes) or Betty

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.

2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full).

3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30
minutes.

4. For soccer balls, frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting. With black icing,
pipe a pentagon shape in the center of cupcake, piping a few rows of icing into center of pentagon. Pipe lines from pentagon to edge of cupcake to resemble seams. With toothpick or spatula, spread black icing in center of pentagon to fill in the entire shape.

For baseballs, frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting. With black, red or blue icing, pipe 2 arches on opposite sides of cupcakes, curving lines slightly toward center. Pipe small lines from each arch to resemble stitches on a baseball.

For basketballs, color frosting with yellow and red food colors to make orange; frost cupcakes. With black icing, pipe line across center of cupcake. On either side, pipe an arch that curves slightly toward center line.

For tennis balls, color frosting with yellow and green food colors to make tennis-ball yellow; frost cupcakes. With white icing,  pipe curved design to resemble tennis balls.

5. Store cupcakes loosely covered at room temperature.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):
Place paper baking cup in each of 30 muffin cups. Stir 2 tablespoons Gold
Medal® all-purpose flour into dry cake mix. Increase water to 1 1/4 cups;
decrease oil to 2 tablespoons. Bake 17 to 20 minutes.
