Ingredients

1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
Cupcakes of your choice
Red shoestring licorice

Directions

Frost cupcakes. Use a toothpick to draw two curves on cupcake.
Each cupcake will need two 2-1/2-inch licorice pieces and 18-22 3/8-inch pieces.
Using the curves as a guide, form baseball "seams" by placing 2-1/2-inch licorice pieces on top of marked curves. Then add 3/8-inch pieces to form stitches.
