Here’s a lamb recipe that everyone will love. It requires little more than classic vanilla cake and buttercream. Seriously — cake crumbs and frosting (plus two small black candies) are all you need to make even that sweet face.

Food Network Magazine’s marshmallow chick cake is 200 times larger than the Peep you’ll find in your Easter basket. Don’t let the size overwhelm you. There’s a helpful construction guide for this recipe, too.

Almost everything is store-bought, including the devil’s food cupcakes (though you could make your own), but making the almond frosting adds an impressive homemade touch. You’ll practice your piping skills making the fluffy curls, but making the grass is super-easy, thanks to a garlic press.
