Sheep Cupcakes 绵羊纸杯蛋糕~喜气羊羊 2015

On every CNY day 9 , Hokkien people like me sure must pray to Jade Emperor (Pai Tin Kong) . Since this year is Sheep year, so is perfect to prepare these cute sheep cupcakes for this big day and present to Jade Emperor ^_^

On the CNY day 9 praying ceremony..

My daughter helped me on the fondant face, eyes and ears. She took few hours to make these. Since there were handmade, you can see they have difference face expression ^_^ They are cute right?

For the cupcake, i used Marble butter cake recipe and changed to chocolate cupcake ( i found the cake was a bit on dry side, next time have to increase butter). Apply a layer of normal buttercream. Then top with marshmallow . The design of this cupcake was based on cartoon Shaun The Sheep , inspired from here.
