Sean the Sheep Cupcakes

This would be a perfect present for any stray New Zealanders you come across ahaha... sorry.

I was trying to come up with a design for Will Tatchell who runs Van Dieman Brewing.
I wondered about a beer cupcake but I wasn't sure how to do it, so in the end I fixed on Sean the Sheep because Will's brewery is on a farming property, and there is a sheep that was bottlefed who follows him around.

For Sean's head I looked at an old Wallace and Gromit alarm clock. Jade was confused to find it on the kitchen table but guessed straight away that it was possibly cupcake related.

The green background (left) works better than the purple one below because it looks like grass. The cachous were just to glam it up a bit but were possibly a mistake.

It would also be fun to do a more three dimensional Sean by modelling half of his body and making it look as if he was jumping out of the cupcake.

My problem though with that type of solid modelling is that you end up with so much icing relative to the amount of cake, it's not really edible.

Baa-aaaa, happy eating Will.
