Moo-ve Over for an Udder-ly Adorable Cow Tutorial

When we lived in South­ern Cal­i­for­nia, we would always take car trips up north to vis­it our fam­i­lies, which meant an inevitable nose-pinch­ing pass through the “stinky cows”, as my daugh­ter used to call them. And then we would joke that it smelled like Dad­dy!    Now that we live in the desert, we don’t get to vis­it the stinky cows any­more, but we sure can make some… and these smell a heck of a lot better!

I want­ed to cre­ate this sweet farm ani­mal in cup­cake form that would be per­fect for a farm-themed cel­e­bra­tion or hoe­down. When mak­ing ani­mals, I tend to make them as three-dimen­sion­al fig­ures or depict their faces with fon­dant. To be a lit­tle dif­fer­ent, I thought it would be fun to incor­po­rate the entire cup­cake into the pre­sen­ta­tion by cov­er­ing the sur­face in its entire­ty with fon­dant and I think it turned out super cute. The same tech­nique could be uti­lized for a vari­ety of ani­mals. Get the step-by-step tuto­r­i­al to cre­at­ing this fon­dant cow on the Craft­sy blog!

And for some addi­tion­al west­ern par­ty ideas, be sure to check out my daugh­ter’s Yee Haw, Cow­girl  third birth­day, along with the Ari­zona Cow­boy  cel­e­bra­tion we threw for my father’s 75th birth­day festivities!
