Sheep Birthday Cakes

Last week it was my Mum's birthday. So I decided to do some thing special for her. I was going to do some thing else, but I didn't have all the things I needed for it. So I went on you-tube to look for ideas. In the end I did find something that looked easy enough. Once I got all the things I needed, I started to bake the cupcakes. The cupcake I used are just plain vanilla cupcakes. No thing special. There was no need for anyhing special. But to make what I did do was dye the cupcake pink. It should of been red, but turned out pink( as all red dyes do). 
For the topping which is the main part it that instead of using icing as the video clipped showed I bought white chocolate instead. It turned out alright. I just dipped the marshmallows in the white chocolate. Near the end, when I was nearly finished all the cupcakes. I figured I could do the same thing as the you-tube clip. Cover the cupcake with chocolate and put the marshmallows on the cupcake. The white chocolate is very easy to handle with. But what I did learn is that the more food colouring you use the harder it is to use. Handy tip take it from me.
Now to show you the end product.

These are the main sheep. They don't take very long to make.

These are some lambs I made. If there are big sheep there must be some baby ones. Don't you think. All I did was get a big marshmallow and stick smaller marshmallows onto it.

I also thought I would make a field to show of my sheep.
Well that is all for now.

OWLS!!!!

My favourite thing in the world had to be owls. I don't know why but I just love them. So these hoildays I began to make some small, cute little owls. 

It's made out of felt. But not all the way through, I glued the felt feathers onto a polystyrene ball. I can't take all the credit. I used a pattern of  http://pinterest.com/ It's a really cool website. So yeah I found a pattern on there to make this owl. I hope you like as much as I do.

       Have fun.
Bye for now.

Easter Cupcakes!

Easter is here. Today I thought I would make some special Easter cupcakes. And here they are.

Don't they look awesome. Everyone I showed them to loved them. The Easter eggs I used were raisin centred  eggs. I thought they wouldn't be very good. But they are so nice. I was surprised myself. The nests are just chocolate flakes, but only crushed. I had lots of fun doing that. Now I know that flakes wouldn't stick to the cupcake by themselves. The secret is melted chocolate and some cream. Just a side tip, put the cream in first then the chocolate, or else you will burn the chocolate to the pan. Must learn from the mistakes.
Well that is all for now.
Happy Easter!
