EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can also use Betty Crocker chocolate frosting to create the lines of the basketball.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Recipe is easy... just follow the box. Icing is cute and easy as well... perfect right now (March) because March Madness is going on. These were a huge hit at work. Only thing was that I couldn't get the orange deep or bright enough with red and yellow food coloring... but even with the lighter orange you can still tell what it is.
