Painted Lamb Cupcakes
These lamb cupcakes are not only charming, but they’re also delicious. Here’s everything you need to know to create these sweet little critters.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 batch of buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- White fondant or mini marshmallows
- Black edible ink pen or black frosting for details
- Red or pink candy melts (for the nose)
- Chocolate chips (for the eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the chocolate cake mix instructions. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter and bake according to the box instructions, usually around 18-22 minutes.
- Once the cupcakes are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream frosting. If you want them to look like lambs, you might want to get creative by tinting your frosting with a bit of white or using a piping bag with a star tip.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them generously with the buttercream frosting. Use the star tip to create fluffy woolly textures.
- Use white fondant or mini marshmallows to form the lamb’s ears and put them delicately on top of the frosting.
- Next, add details: using the black edible ink pen or black frosting, draw eyes and a mouth. Place chocolate chips for the eyes and add a small piece of red or pink candy melt for the nose.
- Allow everything to set for a few minutes, then serve these charming Painted Lamb Cupcakes to your friends and family!
Enjoy the process of baking and decorating these delightful cupcakes. They’re not just sweet treats; they’re a slice of joy that everyone will love!
