I made these cupcakes for my son's first birthday party last year. We had a barnyard themed party, and it was SO much fun. You can check out the party here.
In planning the party, I found the idea for these cupcakes at Betty Crocker's website. They give a video tutorial here.
For the lamb cupcakes, you need mini marshmallows, pink frosting (strawberry), and mini chocolate chips.
Frost the cupcakes. Leave a mini circle in the middle to put the mini chip eyes and nose. Place the mini marshmallows all around in several circles. Baaaaaa!
For the chick cupcakes, you need white frosting, sweetened coconut, mini chocolate chips and orange gumdrops.
Use food coloring to dye some frosting yellow. Dye sweetened coconut yellow with a few drops of coloring in a ziplock bag with the coconut. Generously frost and then coconut the cupcakes. Add half an orange gumdrop for the beak and then two mini chocolate chips for the little chick eyes. Peep-peep.
Have fun with your creations. These are extremely easy and always get great compliments.
