Birthday Girl

 

Yesterday, my baby girl turned 3.  THREE.  That’s crazy.  If you have been following me since she was born, you know she had a little bit of a rough start to life including a NICU stay, but now she’s a happy, healthy, rambunctious three year old.  She loves cows, Chickfila, and shoes.  Such a joy and a blessing.

My sweet girl asked for a cupcakes for her birthday party and also said she wanted a cow cake, so we pulled the two of those together.  I don’t think we did too bad for not being professional cupcake makers 🙂

I wasn’t planning on sharing how we made it so I didn’t take the best of pics, but when I shared it on my personal fb page, everyone was asking.  Here goes:

First, make a batch of cupcakes.  You’ll need 28 cupcakes to make the form that I did.

I started with a rectangle that was 4 across and 3 down, using 12 cupcakes.  Then I added 2 cupcakes to make each leg and 2 for the tail.  Then I used 9 in a 3 x 3 pattern for the head, making the middle row come down a little to shape the face.  Finally, we added 1 to make a cow bell.

Then start decorating.  We did a simple quick buttercream frosting for the base on each cupcake.  We used the ready made frostings that you can buy at the grocery store with a tip on the end to make the designs.  You’re simply adding features to make it look cow-ish.  I’m sure this could easily be adapted for a horse or a pig as well.

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!
