What is a butter board? Or a buttercream board?
If you have yet to hear about butter boards or buttercream boards they have been filling our feeds on social media and Pinterest lately.
A butter board is softened butter that is spread on a wooden cutting board (or charcuterie board) that is topped with all kinds of toppings that you then enjoy with baguette bread.
A buttercream board is the same concept, but better in my opinion, where you pipe buttercream frosting on your board and dip cookies, fruit and anything you desire for a tasty dessert treat.

How to Make a Super Bowl Buttercream Board

- Fill in the oval with chocolate icing.
- Now using your white icing and green tipped piping bag, create the strings on your football down the middle.
- Lay out cookies on each corner of your cutting board.
- Serve and enjoy at your Super Bowl party!
Tips & Tricks
- Chill the Icing: If your icing feels too soft, pop it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This will help it hold its shape better when you’re piping out the football design.
- Use a Rotating Board: For a smoother, more precise football shape, use a rotating cutting board or lazy Susan to easily adjust your piping angles as you go.
- Get Creative with Cookies: Choose a variety of cookies—like chocolate chip, shortbread, or even mini football-shaped ones—to give your board texture and flavor variety. You can even add pretzels or fruits for more options.
- Prep Ahead: You can pipe the football design a few hours before the party and keep it in the fridge. Just add the cookies right before serving to keep them fresh and crispy.
- Practice Piping: If you’re new to decorating, practice on parchment paper first to get a feel for creating the oval shape and the laces before you start on the board.
