CUTE SHEEP CUPCAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Place coupler in piping bag and fill with buttercream. Fit with star tip. Thin royal icing out so it is slightly runny, then transfer to piping bag or resealable bag.  Using buttercream, pipe border around cupcakes, leaving a circle about the size of a quarter in the middle.  Snip end off of bag with royal icing and fill center holes of each cupcake, using a toothpick to get into all spaces and cover the cupcake completely.  Swap out tip on piping bag to a leaf tip; pipe ears on each cupcake and place a sprinkle on each.  Once royal icing is set, use small dab of it to stick on nonpareil for nose. Use marker to draw on eyes.
