Ingredients:

6 large marshmallows
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
Black paste food coloring
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Methods:

To make the heads, cut off 1/4-inch round from end of each marshmallow. Dip scissors in hot water and make 2 V-shaped cuts on opposite side of each slice to form ears and face. Reserve one cut-out piece for each tail.

Cut bamboo skewers into 1-1/2-inch lengths. (You will need a total of 24 stick pieces.) Stick 4 sticks into side of each larger portion of marshmallows to make lamb legs. Frost body of lamb generously with white frosting. Sprinkle coconut over frosting, pressing it on gently so that it sticks.

Attach head and tail to each body with frosting. Mix about 1/4 cup of the remaining frosting with enough black food coloring to turn it black. Scrape black frosting into a small, sealable bag and seal the bag. Snip a tiny hole in a bottom corner of the bag. Pipe eyes, nose and mouth onto each lamb face.

The lambs are now ready to frolic as a centerpiece, as decorations for a birthday cake or a cunning little dessert.
