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%.
