WHEW! Now that the decor is complete, time to clean up! SO glad I had washable finger paint for the green and that the frosting is white because my 4-year old has apparently inherited my “messy crafter” genetics. 😉

  1. Those cupcake liners are so cute, what a fun idea! I like the bunting as well, and the football shaped cheese dip is very clever.

  2. These are really nice cupcake holders, not only for the upcoming Super Bowl. It’s nice to have a cupcake that is more masculine. I love the frilly girlie unicorns etc. but little boys feel uncomfortable always having girlie stuff. Nice change. Thanks for sharing.
