Utah vs Byu Cupcakes- Rivalry Cupcakes

Utah vs Byu College Football Rivalry

If you aren’t Utah based, you probably still know all about the rivalry between BYU and UTAH. It’s a pretty big deal around here! I come from a divided house! My parents both went to BYU and are very proud BYU alumni! My husband and his parents, both graduated from the U of U, and are die hard Utah fans! Growing up, I always thought of myself as a BYU fan because my parents went there. Then I got married and moved to Salt Lake, and now I am a full time student at the U of U! I took my time deciding, but I can officially say that I am a University of Utah fan! Go UTES!!

The Undecided Cupcake

If you are undecided or have loyalty to both teams, I have a special little something for you! I bring you the double fan cupcake! This cupcake has both red and blue batter, as well as it represents both teams! As my husband would call this cupcake, the worst kind of fan. In this rivalry, you have to choose! But with these cupcakes, you can have both!

How to Make the Team Letters out of White Chocolate

These Utah vs BYU cupcakes are so fun because they are easy and delicious! When you are making them at home, you don’t have to support both themes and make both flavors! You pick your side and stick with it! The cupcakes are made with a white cake mix, leaving the possibilities endless for coloring! I used a cream cheese frosting because I love the way that the edges get crisp. The letters are made from printing out the design you want for each cupcake on a piece of paper, placing wax paper over the top, tracing the letters with white chocolate, and letting it sit in the freezer until they are set! Super simple and easy, and you can do this with anything you need!
