Go team! Root for your favorite sport with a triple play of easy-to-decorate cupcakes. Colorful sprinkles are used to simulate the bumpy or fuzzy textures of sports balls, on top of which the “seams” are either piped with buttercream or drawn with licorice laces. Make one type of ball or all three; you will need one batch of Swiss meringue buttercream (page 304) to decorate two dozen cupcakes in any design. Once decorated, cupcakes can be stored up to one day at room temperature in airtight containers.
