    Stir red and yellow food colors into frosting to make orange; frost cupcakes. With black icing, pipe lines to look like a basketball. Store loosely covered.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    You can also use Betty Crocker* chocolate frosting to create the lines of the basketball.
  • Tip 2
    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.
