Equipment

  • 1 Paint Brush
  • 1 Piping Bag Fitted with Wilton tip #21

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Chocolate Cupcakes

For the Fondant Sheep

  • 6 oz. Black Fondant
  • 1 oz. White Fondant
  • Edible Black Marker
  • 1 Bowl Water Small

For the Buttercream

  • 1 Stick Butter Softened
  • 2 Cups Confectioners’ Sugar
  • 3 tbsp. Milk

Instructions
 

  • Before you start the decorating process, ensure that your cupcakes are completely cool to the touch. Start the fondant sheep by rolling 24 spheres from your white fondant. They should be ¼ of an inch in size. Flatten them out a little.
  • With your edible black marker, draw one pupil in the center of each fondant eyeball.
  • Now, it is time to roll your fondant sheep’s head. With your black fondant, roll spheres that are about ½ inch in size. Flatten each sphere and pinch it at the top – it should somewhat resemble an egg. Brush a little bit of water on the top of each fondant sheep head.
  • Place two eyes on each black fondant piece. With a toothpick, press two lines at the bottom of the fondant head – they will act as the sheep’s nostrils. With the remainder of your black fondant, roll out 24 spheres, about ¼ of an inch in size. Shape them into mini triangles for sheep ears.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and milk with an electric mixer, starting at medium speed and increasing to high until smooth and semi-stiff peaks form. Transfer your buttercream to a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #21. Frost each cupcake with small dollops and cover the surface entirely.
  • Place the fondant pieces on top of each cupcake. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • When making the fondant sheep heads, use a little water to help them stick—this ensures the ears and eyes stay in place without sliding off.
  • To get those fluffy fur vibes, pipe your buttercream with small dollops—aim for random shapes to make it look like actual sheep wool!
  • Let the kids help with the decorating—it’s all about fun and creativity, and no two sheep cupcakes will look the same, which makes them even more special!
