Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
• Combine all cupcake ingredients in bowl; beat on low speed until combined. Beat at medium speed until well mixed.
• Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake 18-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in pan; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
• Combine 1 cup butter, powdered sugar and vanilla in bowl. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add marshmallow crème; continue beating until well mixed. Set aside.
• Create lamb faces by using palm of hand to flatten gumdrops to 1/4-inch thickness. Poke holes into gumdrops for nostrils. Attach candy eyes and licorice pieces for ears, using frosting to adhere. Set aside.

SHAUN THE SHEEP CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare cupcakes as directed on box for 6 cupcakes. Place the rest into your cake pop pan. If using the cake pop method oil and flour your pan before use to make sure your cake balls pop out easily.
• Once done baking pop your cake ball pan into the freezer for 10-15 minutes and set your cupcakes on a cooling rack.
• While your cupcakes cool take a piece of wax paper and a ziplock bag. In the ziplock bag place one block of white chocolate almond bark. Microwave in 10 second intervals, squeezing after each time, until chocolate is a smooth consistency. Add in your black food dye and fully mix. Snip away the corner of your ziplock bag and on the wax paper draw out your sheep ears. Allow to dry.
• Once cupcakes are cool and ready to be frosted mix up two bowls of frosting- one white and a very small one of black. Frost your cupcakes with plain white frosting and your cake balls with black. You can also use the black almond bark instead of the black frosting if you desire.
• Place your cake balls on top of your frosted cupcakes. Add two eyes to your sheep.
• Using your marshmallows fill in any empty space showing on top of your cupcake.
• Add your sheep's ears.
• Mix green food dye and coconut. Sprinkle around your plate for grass.
• Serve and Enjoy!

SHAUN THE SHEEP CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare your cupcakes according to the box directions. Most boxed cake mixes should include the directions for making cupcakes.
• Allow cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
• Put some of the icing into a ziplock bag and seal shut. Snip a tiny corner off the bag to form a makeshift icing piping bag.
• Ice the top of the cupcake - only cover about half of the surface area as the marshmallows will push it down the sides.
• Put in your sheep head (instructions above in post).
• Stick the marshmallows into the icing.
• Let harden enough for the marshmallows to set before eating.
