Cute Easter Sheep Cupcakes
There comes a time in your life when you realize you’re “older.”
Call me a fuddy duddy, but I prefer to embarrass myself in the privacy of my own home..because you KNOW I have tried to Riverdance.
That night I had trouble falling asleep…visions of feathered hair and leather vests kept me awake…so I turned to the tried and true “counting sheep”.
You know where I am going with this…
because I am clearly psychotic and cannot think outside the frosting can, these are the sheep that I counted…
I thought with Easter coming up, they would be perfect.
What makes them the most perfect, though, is that they are SUPER easy.
Watch and learn…
How to Level Up Your Easter Cupcakes
I bought mini powdered donuts
regular sized chocolate chips
pretzel sticks (broken into smaller pieces for legs)
mini Oreos
and not pictured:
White frosting to cover cupcakes and also to use as “glue”.
Mini marshmallows for tails.
Frost the cupcakes however you would like (fancy swirls would be pretty or tinting it green and using your grass tip would be cute too!)…I just slapped on some white frosting and dipped into green jimmies.
then…
next you…
Now the fun part
It’s coming together…
If you’re feeling cute put him on a stick.
I needed to trim the stick a little bit so it stood nicely in my cupcake.
Slowly press the lollipop stick into your donut lamb and insert into frosted cupcake
Now..give your lamb some junk in the trunk with some more frosting and a mini marshmallow…
That’s it!! If you don’t want to worry about the sticks, the little lambs can rest atop of your cupcake…how cozy.
So there you have it… Easter-ready cupcakes!
Happy Spring!

Hi, Shelly! I LOVE your Counting Sheep dessert!! Stopping by to let you know that I’ve featured you in a blog post today in celebration of National Donut Day! http://www.chattingoverchocolate.com/2013/06/a-bakers-dozen-ways-to-celebrate.html
Thanks for sharing this adorable and delicious treat!! Have a fantastic weekend!
These are PRECIOUS! So detailed, yet easy to make, too!
I think your sheep and my lambs ought to get together!. 🙂 I’m afraid mine would want to graze on your cupcakes, and would come empty-handed. (Er, pretzeled?) You’d also have to exercise due caution with Mr. Bear, but he generally sticks with the raspberry jelly. ha 🙂
Our company made these to entertain our customers. Here are the lambs: http://doodlekins.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-easiest-easter-lamb-youll-ever-make.html

Next time I can’t sleep I will put on my creative hat and try to think up some cute cupcakes. Then I will email you so you can do all the work! These are sooo cute! I now understand why you and Kristan (Confessions of a Cookbook Queen) are BFF.
My 7-year-old daughter wants to be a lamb farmer, so everything is “lamb” around our house. For her birthday on Monday, we’re visiting a lamb farm that is an hour away with 6 of her friends. These cupcakes will be a great treat to come back home to and eat before PRESENTS!
They are so cute!!!Keep Sharing more >>>>>>>>
