Sparkly red, white and blue and soaked amaretto cupcakes by City Cakes

Red, white, blue and silver star and soaked Lush amaretto cupcakes by New York City's City Cakes via Twitpic. Follow them @CityCakes on Twitter. No, they're not really related seasonally or thematically, but I saw them on Twitter and liked them both!

Patriots vs. Giants Super Bowl XLVI cupcakes

These fun team spirit New England Patriots vs. New York Giants cupcakes are by blogger Cupcake Adventures, who you can also find on Facebook. They're chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and white chocolate cupcake toppers. Via Flickr. The other day my friend said, "Rachel, who's playing in the Super Bowl? I know you'll know, because of cupcakes." And he was right! So thank you to all of you who've raised my football awareness by 1000%.
