How to Make Decorated Football Poke Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare your favorite white cake mix according to package directions, using egg whites as instructed.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, pierce cupcakes with a large fork at ½-inch intervals, going deep enough to reach the center.
- In a medium bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin over ½ cup boiling water. Let stand for at least 2 minutes to soften.
- Stir the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved and smooth.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the pierced cupcakes.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the gelatin is set.
- Tint your favorite whipped topping (about 2 cups) with green and gold food coloring (or your team colors!).
- Frost the cupcakes with the tinted whipped topping.
- Optionally, draw a 50-yard line on each cupcake using white decorator gel.
- Create miniature pennants by wrapping small triangles of fruit leather around pretzel sticks and insert into the frosting.
- Decorate with small chocolate footballs (store bought or homemade).
- Store cupcakes in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
