Nativity Cupcakes

Kate's Christmas Play

The Fabulous Kate makes her acting debut today in her church Christmas play.  She's playing a sheep...she's nervous but has had lots of practice.  She teased me last week saying that she keeps messing up her lines and saying, "Baaa--cock-a-doodle-doo!"  To keep with the theme of the Christmas play, I  made nativity cupcakes, but I also wanted to pay homage to Kate's sheepish role, so I made a few sheep as well. 

Chocolate Chocolate Cupcakes with white fondant toppers.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing and Marshmallow "fur."  These were inspired by the ones in Martha Stewart's Cupcake Cookbook, but didn't turn out exactly as well as she did it.
