How to Make Easter Lamb Cupcakes

Form each into a flattened cube 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 1/4″ tall.

To each of these we will attach ears at the top and using a toothpick we will carve in the mouth and nostril area.

Also place candy eyes like these ones here and press in place.

Allow the heads to set for 30 minutes.

Store remaining candy clay by sealing in zippered bag and refrigerating.

Allow to cool. Cream butter and vanilla in a large bowl

Slowly add in the powdered sugar, and milk as needed, until everything is incorporated and frosting is right consistency.

Beat for 5 minutes to make sure it is fluffy.

Ice cupcakes then decorate tops with sheep heads and mini marshmallow to represent wool.
