Ingredients

• 12 Whole cupcakes, cooled
• 16 Ounces (oz) vanilla frosting, packaged
• 6 Large marshmallows, divided
• 5 Whole black licorice laces, divided
• 10.5 Ounces (oz) miniature marshmallows, packaged
• 24 Whole candy eyeballs

Steps

1. Frost each cupcake with an even layer of vanilla frosting using a spatula or palette knife.
2. Use a skewer to poke two holes in the top end of each marshmallow half for the ears and two holes at the bottom of the front side for the nostrils.
3. Cut the black licorice laces into short lengths: 24 small pieces for the nostrils and thirty-six 1/3-inch lengths for the ears and tails. Insert the shorter licorice pieces into the marshmallows where you've poked holes for the nostrils. Insert 24 of the longer pieces into the marshmallows where you've poked holes for the ears. Attach one marshmallow head to each cupcake.
4. Cover the cupcakes with mini marshmallows, sticking them to the frosting flat-side down. Leave space on the opposite side of the head to attach the tail. Poke a hole there using a skewer, then insert the remaining licorice pieces for the tails.
5. Spread a bit of frosting on the backs of two candy eyeballs and attach them to the marshmallow, positioning them above the nose. Repeat with the remaining eyeballs.

Enjoy your charming Easter Lamb Cupcakes!
