Superbowl Sweet Snacks:)

I made these Vanilla cupcakes and cake pops for a friend who will be hosting a Super Bowl party. Steelers and Packers cake pops.....yum. I wont lie these were hard to make. Trying to get the different colors and deciding whether to pipe icing or chocolate, eish... (def: South African slang; oh my gosh:)) I still have to figure out how to stop the chocolate from cracking on the cake pops....any suggestions?The footballs on the cupcakes were fun and easy to make, they are made out of fondant.....and here they are

Yellow cake and chocolate frosting cake pops covered with candy coating.

 You can see the bumpy helmets...i tried so hard to make them smooth. I even tried fondant but the fondant seemed too heavy for the cake pop. I will have to practice some more. Here are the cupcakes
