How to Make These Cupcakes

Making the Bats
Melt your chocolate candy melts, then dip one end of each pretzel stick to coat about three-quarters of the way up. Lay them on wax paper and let them harden.

Using a toothpick and some melted chocolate, glue some bats together so they make an X

Baseballs
Trim the lollipop sticks so they will fit into the cupcake with the baseball nestled in the grass

Decorate the cupcakes:
Use a grass tip and green frosting to frost the cupcake. While holding the piping bag vertically, gently squeeze some frosting out to make grass, then release. Repeat all over the cupcake.

Assembling

Position bats in various creative and enjoyable arrangements in front of the baseball.

FAQ’s

Can I Use Store Bought Cupcakes?

Yes! If you do not want to frost the cupcakes, then try to find green frosted cupcakes, or use American colors like red, white, and blue as a foundation.

Can I Refrigerate these Cupcakes?

I would not refrigerate or freeze these cupcakes. The decorations will take on condensation and could ruin their appearance.

Storing

Store these cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If it is humid, I would not recommend storing them for longer than the day of the party. The chocolate and the lollipop will start to condense.
