fuzzy sheep
Materials
- Cupcakes
- Pale blue or chocolate frosting
- Six mini marshmallows
- Black licorice string
- 1 black sugary gel candy
- Spoon
- Knife
- Scissors
Instructions
1 Frost the cupcake with the frosting.
2 Cut the six mini marshmallows in half. Flatten each marshmallow half with your fingers.
3 Lay the mini marshmallows on the cupcake. Start by putting some in a half-circle, then overlap more to create an inner circle.
4 Cut the black gel candy in half and then cut again to make a triangular shape. Add the triangle piece just above the mini marshmallow pieces to be the sheep’s face.
5 Cut the other half of the gel candy into ear-shaped pieces. Place the ear-shaped pieces to the sides of the triangular piece.
6 Cut four short pieces of black licorice string with scissors. Place the black licorice string pieces beneath the mini marshmallows.
