How to Make Sheep Cupcakes!

Hey everyone!

I recently made these adorable sheep inspired cupcakes for my neighbours birthday!  This is the first time I have decorated cupcakes this way, so for me it was really a case of trial and error. To speed up the process and also to make it a bit easier, I decided to use a vanilla base packet mix. These cake mixes are super easy/fast as you only have to supply the milk, butter and eggs. Also preparation time is only around 6 minutes! The actual baking side of it is reasonably basic however the skill level is 4/5 due to the detailed decorating. My cake mix made 12 cupcakes.

~Ingredients~

~Utensils~

Ingredients~

~ Pre-made cake mix (including cupcake icing)


~Liquorice

~Mini Marshmallows (preferably white)

~Black patty pans






Method ~

1. Fill the muffin tin with black patty pans.

2. Make the cupcake mix cupcakes (follow instructions on the back of box).

3. Make cupcake mix icing (that is also provided in the box).

4. Fill the patty pans half full with cake mixture.

5. Bake in the oven to the desired temperature (mine was at 180 oC).

6. Once finished baking, remove cupcakes from the oven and allow the cupcakes to completely cool on a cooling rack. They should be golden brown and your kitchen should smell amazing!

7. While the cup cakes are cooling you want to begin prepping for the decorating. Firstly you want to get out your mini white marshmallows and cut them in half using a knife or cooking scissors.

8. Next you want to create the sheep faces. Firstly take a liquorice and squish it down into an oval shape. Next, grab the two eyes, (we had pre-made these ones out of hard icing but you can make them with runny icing and a piping bag for guidance) Push them into the liquorice.

9. Next ice the cupcakes using a small knife.

10. Place the liquorice head on at the front, cut small strips of liquorice for the ears and tail. Next place the marshmallows around the rest of the cupcake to fill in the gaps. And your done!

How cute are they?! These are perfect for a party or afternoon tea! Comment down below if you have every made sheep cupcakes or if you are going to make them! I hope you really liked this post as I loved writing it! Stay tuned for more exciting up-coming blog posts!
