Le Snack Sportif

Ok, ok, I know it is complete March Madness that I am only now putting these Superbowl sweets up on the 'net, but I couldn't punish you, dear reader, for my lazines by depriving you of these beauties.

First out of the gates, we have this work of art from the good people at Giant:

No, that is not in fact MUSTARD that they used to ice this sheetcake. And no, I have NO IDEA what "Believe In Now" means, but hey, can you really disagree with the sentiment? Or celebrating sporting events you don't care about with a cake that is a processed sugar bomb?

Next up we have some thematic cupcakes that I made for a serious Super Bowl party G and I went to. (Those Steelers fans are big time SNACKMANIACS, cheeseburger dip that has its own mini crockpot!!!) Anyhow, these are cheddar beer cupcakes with bacon cheddar icing. Despite all those ingredients, they are not savory (this may be a direct result of the five cups of sugar in the recipe.) But man, that icing is bacon-y, which I LOVE. Oh, and that decorative football is a chocolate covered almond.


BELIEVE IN NOW, because after eating a few of these you might be heading straight for the ER.
