Easter Ideas V: Little Lamb Cupcakes

recipe food network easter lamb cupcake

SO CUTE! These are just adorable!!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. : ) Oh, and you might like to swap the marsh-mellow out for a donut hole for extra yumminess (and a few extra calories). Yum!

 

Directions:

Frost cupcake. Place the large marshmallow in the center. Lightly frost candy eyes and press onto the marshmallow. Frost the back of the jujube candy and put below eyes to for a nose. Frost the short piece of licorice lightly and press underneath the nose to make the mouth. Press mini-marshmallows all around the cupcakes and the face to make the lambs coat. Frost the tips of the pink jelly beans to make ears. Stick the purple jelly beans in the front and back of the cupcake for feet. Curl the long piece of licorice and press into frosting to make the lamb’s tail.

 

Fluff Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
  • Pinch fine salt

Whisk the milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.

Slowly beat the butter and sugar, in another medium bowl, with an electric mixer until incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.) Add the fluff and salt and reduce the speed to low. Add the milk and vanilla mixture, scrape the bowl down, and mix until fully incorporated. Raise the mixer to high and beat briefly until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use immediately.

Yield: 3 3/4 cups

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 (10 ounce) package regular marshmallows
  • 6 cups KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels or milk chocolate morsels

  2. Add KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal. Stir until well coated.
  3. Using 1/4-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into 2 1/2- x 1 1/2-inch egg shapes.

Supplies:
Milk Chocolate Flavored Candy Wafers
Make’n Mold Candy Filling – Desired Flavor
Fillable Candy Mold, such as mold #4130

 

Directions:
Melt Make’n Mold candy wafers according to package instructions. Use a spoon or shedless paint brush to apply a thin layer of melted candy wafers to candy mold cavity surface. Chill 5-10 minutes. Form small balls of Make’n Mold candy filling, and gently press into shells. Do not overfill, leave about a quarter of an inch at the top of the candy mold. Spoon a small amount of melted candy wafers over the candy filling. Tap the candy mold gently to smooth the surface. Make sure all the candy filling is covered. Chill 10-15 minutes.
