Baking - Mary Had a Little Lamb Cupcakes

Baaaaaaa.

Jen's shower was MotherGoose/NurseryRhyme themed so I made some Mary Had a Little Lamb Cupcakes using a handy Martha recipe. I used her Billy's vanilla frosting and scraped in 1/2 a vanilla bean instead of making the meringue (seemed too complicated for me). Cut big and little marshmallows in half with kitchen shears sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (ala Pam) and it was a complete breeze. Also, I piped on little, pink, heart noses and mini chocolate eyes for lack of bubblegum and chocolate drops in my kitchen. We're pretty well stocked around here, but bubblegum? I think not. Cute, huh?

Not that big of a marshmallow fan.
Thought I'd pick 'em off before eating a cupcake, but they were actually kinda yum!
