If you’re planning to host a get-together for the NFL Championships and/or Super Bowl, entertaining guru Jeanne Benedict has some absolutely adorable ideas for dessert!

Read on for details on the Football Corset, Ref, Team Colors, Pizza, and Hamburger cupcakes, as told by Jeanne…

“Instead of the old plastic football pick in a cupcake, try these awesome Super Bowl Cupcake designs for a winning dessert table while watching the Big Game on TV!

FOOTBALL CORSET Cupcakes

Laces out! Give a cupcake the winning edge by wrapping it in paper that looks and feels like a football and then lacing it up. (detailed instructions)

REF Cupcakes

For this sporty cupcake design, create a cupcake wrap out of black and white striped paper and top it with a whistle to pay tribute to the guys that keeps thing fair on the field. (detailed instructions)

PIZZA Cupcakes

TROPHY Cupcakes

Win big by topping chocolate cupcakes with trophies. These are also great for celebrating a local team’s championship sport season! (detailed instructions)

Thanks again to Jeanne for sharing these fun ideas & photos with us!

Which cupcake design do you like best? I love them all but am torn between the Football Corset and the Ref cupcakes right now… but leaning towards the Ref design because it also looks super easy, which is always a bonus!

P.S. For another take on the Hamburger Cupcakes, check out this version that uses red, yellow, and green frosting for the ketchup, mustard, and lettuce, along with plain white cupcakes for the “bun”, cut in half and garnished with sesame seeds!

    Thanks so much for the cupcake love! I have to tell ya, most people are making the Ref Cupcake (easiest), most kids love the Hamburger (hardest), and most party people are fans of the Football Corset Cupcake! My favorite is a toss up between the Football and the Pizza.

    Just called Michaels and they don’t carry the Football paper anymore.

    I was planning on making some cupcakes that are sort of a hybrid of the ref and football corset shown here… what a coincidence! these are all adorable, i may have to actually try all of them. :)
