It is amazing what you can do with marshmallows, frosting and candy. These lion and lamb cupcakes are two great examples of this. They start off looking like ordinary vanilla cupcakes covered in tasty frosting, although once the toppings are added, they are transformed into adorable treats that fit into the month of March perfectly: in like a lion and out like a lamb. Or is it the other way around?

Vanilla Dog Cupcakes with Mocha Frosting Recipe
With these vanilla dog cupcakes, the unique-ness isn’t in the batter – it’s in the decorations. Take standard vanilla cupcakes (although you can make them chocolate if you so choose) and then top them with homemade, creamy mocha frosting. Caramels, Wilton eyes, black jellybeans, marshmallows and pink starburst candies all become the parts of the dog’s face. Use a special “grass tip” to get the frosting to look like fur and then decorate. The results are almost too cute to eat!

Vanilla Buttermilk Cupcakes and Buttercream Frosting
Vanilla cupcakes are far from boring when they’re decorated to look like polar bears and snowmen. A little creativity goes a long way on these! The “bear” is made from a donut hole frosted and coated with shredded coconut, and the snowman is covered in sanding sugar to make him glisten like freshly-fallen snow. However, the best part lies within — this vanilla cupcake is both rich and luscious, and the frosting is “the best EVER.” All in all, these are an unforgettable combination!

Puppy Love Cupcakes
Don’t let the name fool you – these cupcakes are designed for people, not puppies! The name comes from the adorable chocolate dog-bone-shaped cookies that perch atop these chocolate cupcakes and cream cheese frosting. If you don’t have a dog bone-shaped cookie cutter, then you can adapt the design slightly and make the cookies into any shape that you please! The chocolate cupcakes contain all of the standard ingredients, just like the vanilla cream cheese frosting, making these an easy treat to make and enjoy!

Zebra Cupcakes
Although Zebra Cupcakes sound complicated, they are far simpler to make than you would think. When filling the cupcake tins or pan liners, simply alternate between a simple vanilla cake batter and a deep, dark chocolate one. Keep them in separate pans, and fill the tins by alternating between spoonfuls of each until they are ready to go into the oven. You will end up with an almost-marbled cake.The frosting on these beauties consists of homemade vanilla buttercream topped with zebra-striped sugar sheets to add to the effect.

Strawberry Cheesecake Lucky Ladybug Cupcakes
It’s hard to resist cheesecake of any kind — especially when strawberries are involved! These lovely strawberry cheesecake lucky ladybug cupcakes are not only tasty, but they make a lovely addition to the dessert table at your next spring-themed party. Start by making the vanilla cupcake base, then, after baking, add in the cheesecake filling, made from a clever mixture of strawberries, cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, a stabilizer and corn starch. The frosting consists of more cream cheese and vanilla (with butter and sugar, of course) and all of this is topped off with some sprinkles and chocolate-candy ladybugs. Yum!
