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!

We made these last week at my daughter's kindergarten party. The kids loved them! Thanks for sharing such a fun idea.
It's a good thing I'm not drinking anything, because if I were, I'd be sending you a bill for a new keyboard, seeing as how I would have shorted mine out. And these dang Apple keyboards is es-spensive! You totally need some sort of warning label on your blog about the hilarity contained within. I'm dying here! And those sheep are seriously adorable!
I love them! I shared them on my blog.

Just wanted to let you know that I referred you in my favorite blogs. Could you return the favor? Thanks dear! http://theaddictedbaker.blogspot.com/p/favorite-blogs.html
Holy moly! Your blog is awesome!! I saw a link to these sheep on "One Pretty Thing" (blog) and had to check them out. Your blog was hilarious, too by the way. I can totally relate to the "rural bar", I live in eastern Washington. 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I think I'll make these for Easter!
COOL! Great idea! Thanks for the detailed tutorial:)
