Nope, this is not my cupcake, which you can tell because it’s a Cowboys cupcake and not a Ravens cupcake (GO RAVENS!). But isn’t it awesome?

Between September 12 and 19, Sprinkles Cupcakes of Dallas is selling special Blue Velvet Cowboys cupcakes. Fully 100% of the proceeds supports the Salvation Army (so if you hate the Cowboys, you’re still not allowed to hate these cupcakes). Plus, one cupcake every day will have a silver star inside it, and if you find that star, you win some neat stuff as well as a chance at the MVP Grand Prize (which includes Thanksgiving Day game tickets, an autographed football, and a chance to see a private rehearsal of the halftime show, among other things).

This idea could only be better if the cupcakes were Ravens cupcakes. Maybe I could bake some. I could try making purple velvet, like the gorgeous cake here (scroll down for the photo of a lovely lavender slice). But I’d probably have to draw the line at recreating the Ravens logo out of frosting. Decorating tiny baked goods with bird heads is probably a little complicated for me at this stage.
