Homemade sheep cupcakes.
Since my 2012 foray into making cupcakes for Jasmine's wedding, I pretty much use any excuse I can think of to make cupcakes. In particular, I love carrot cake with cream cheese icing. My little niece, Madelynn, turned two on Friday, and I volunteered to make her birthday cupcakes.
I wanted to make these cupcakes kid-friendly, so I made both carrot cake and chocolate, but topped them with marshmallows, chocolate faces, and chocolate dipped pretzels for legs-- they were transformed into cute little sheep!

We ate snacks and opened presents. Dylan and Madelynn were entertained for a good half hour by batting around birthday balloons.

Two candles fit nicely into Madelynn's cupcake, which she successfully blew out on her first try. She then devoured each of the marshmallows, and allowed Tom to feed her the chocolate faces and pretzel legs.
More cupcake sheep!

Happy Birthday!
