Balls

Last year I was having trouble figuring out what I would make for 2 of my male friend's birthdays. Guys aren't really into the whole "cute" cupcake thing, so I had to think outside the box.  

I got this great cupcake book from my brother's girlfriend last Christmas. Just like cooking, I don't like copying the exact recipe, I enjoy making it my own. After going through the book, it gave me really great ideas to work with! I ended up doing billiard balls (also known as pool balls). The book called for sprinkles to make up the colors, but I found that fondant gave it a more professional and life like look. They turned out amazing and it was definitely a hit with all the guys that attended the party!

For other "male" cupcake ideas, refer back to my earlier post called "She Bakes, She Scores"!

Cheers
