Nothin’ But Net Basketball Cupcake Tutorial

When my fam­i­ly and I were liv­ing in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia many years ago, we were huge fans of the local NBA bas­ket­ball team, the Sacra­men­to Kings, watch­ing every game with­out fail. My mom was an espe­cial­ly avid fan, which seemed a bit unlike­ly, as she grew up in Chi­na and Brazil and up to that point, had been more of a soc­cer and car rac­ing fan. But there she was ~ all five feet of her ~ yelling at the tele­vi­sion and pas­sion­ate­ly cheer­ing on our team! At the time, there was a fast food chain that was either sell­ing or giv­ing out bob­ble heads of the team’s play­ers and my mom was absolute­ly obsessed with col­lect­ing all of them. So much so that she met some guy in an alley to exe­cute a play­er trade… yes, a bob­ble head play­er trade. Though we still tease her about it and she will nev­er live it down, it actu­al­ly made watch­ing the games so much more excit­ing, despite the even­tu­al gut-wrench­ing loss­es, sim­i­lar to our Bit­ter­sweet Super Bowl cel­e­bra­tion a cou­ple of years back!

While we are still in the midst of the NBA sea­son, March Mad­ness is just around the cor­ner for col­lege bas­ket­ball and con­se­quent­ly, game day par­ties and get-togeth­ers!
