Counting Sheep...

Mary had some little lambs, their fleece was white as snow...

Then Baa, Baa Black Sheep came along as said, "Come on ladies, let's go!"

They all had fun, had a good run... that is, 'til things got weird...

The sad part of the story is, those poor sheep all got sheared!

So perhaps I'm a better baker than a poet, but I think I'm pretty funny! :)

These little lambs came to be for my dear friend Carla's baby shower....shower #3 that is - her work shower :)

The theme for her baby's nursery is little lambs, so naturally that was the theme for her shower too!

I was pretty excited to try these lamb cake pops out because I've only ever made traditional cake pops.  This was definitely an adventure.  Being the baking perfectionist I am, I had a specific vision in my mind that I wanted to achieve. (Yes I will use the tiniest possible heart shaped sprinkle for a nose!)  And after some definite trial and error (and a lot of love!) these sweet lambs came out just as I'd hoped they would!

Here's how my little flock was displayed in their "grassy pasture":

They were very well received at the shower, which I was thrilled about.  I get such a nervous stomach when I'm unveiling a new creation!  To quote one of my co-workers, "They're cute and delicious...it's usually one or the other, but these cake pops are both!"  What a great compliment that was!

But the most important part was that the fabulous mother-to-be loved them!

So now I know I can take on any cake pop request that comes my way...so get those orders in people!

Well, this weary "shepherd" is off to put her feet up and enjoy the fruits of my labor!

I hope you all enjoyed my latest creation and that you're eating your sweets too!
