When our home state starting soaring in college and pro football teams, that made football fever even worse!

All six kids had to wear their favorite team’s t-shirt.

Christmas and birthdays all had some football related item on the “to buy” list.

It’s no wonder that we thought these cupcakes would be a hit! (And these game day Scattergories add to the football fun too!)

How could they not?

They’re double chocolate and use our secrets to making bakery style cakes from cake mix!
