Truth be told I am not a big sports fan,
 but I’m sure the Chargers won the game simply because
  I made cupcakes with their name on them!
Vanilla Cupcake Batter
Place 3 tablespoons of batter into each cupcake liner
Bake the cupcakes at 325 for dark pans or 350 for regular pans until a toothpick comes out clean about 25 minutes.

Using a star tip in a piping bag with chocoalte frosting, pipe the frosting back and forth to create the football look, then add white frosting for the stitching.
THESE are always a fun cupcake for football games.

        1/3 cups butter is just over 5 tablespoons. 5 and 1/3 Tablespoons to be exact, I just estimate at about 5 Tablespoons.

        This recipe makes a lot, between 34 and 36 I typically fill my cupcakes with a 3 Tablespoon measurement

        Hope that helps 🙂
