Shaun the Sheep was Johnny's hero, but now he has discovered Timmy, who is , whisper, *possibly even better* and has his very own show.
Strangely, I feel myself often in need of a coffee and 10 minute break at around the 9am mark. Nothing to do with watching his antics. Oh no.
Inspiration from Waitrose freebie magazine, faces from marzipan, cakes are my cupcake standards and buttercream wool swirled on with a fine nozzle. Child's play.
When my mother asked me to bring a cake for Easter, I'm not sure these were what she had in mind. But they are very spring-like! The flock is headed south for the long weekend. Enjoy yours.
Too delightful!
We haven't seen the Timmy show yet, but we love Shaun! and of course W & G

Super sheep cakes! We are also a Shaun and W&G household over here. What is it about bauble eyed sheep coyly chewing their cud that is so addictive? I don't know but we've definitely caught the bug.

Oh good heavens, those are adorable. Almost too cute to eat.

They are very cute. You really put all culinary efforts of mine to shame (I tried the custard powder trick - but only got a gentle swelling. Maybe it's my oven. Or the American flour. I'm sure it can't be me...)
Enjoy your weekend!

I think yours have nicer faces than the Waitrose ones.

Who doesn't love Shaun the sheep.
I bet your son was over the moon with you for those.
Enjoy your Easter.

My daughter loves Shaun the sheep and those cupcakes are amazing. I must go to Waitrose and get a copy of their magazine.
Posted by: Mary | 09 April 2009 at 22:50
Aw, stinkin' cute! And they're absolutely *perfect* for Spring and Easter. Have a happy one!
Posted by: Michelle | 09 April 2009 at 23:04
Hmmm....Timmy hasn't been seen in Australia yet...at least not by us. Anything Aardman made or inspired is always welcome around here though. Your cakes are beautiful! Happy Easter!

baaaaaahhhtiful!!

I fell in love with these the minute I saw them in the magazine. First batch were demolished on the day of creation, so new batch won't be made until tomorrow - so we might have a few to take to my dad's on Sunday! Happy Easter.

I love Timmy the Sheep! My fiance is called Tim and I've got the theme tune as his ringtone on my phone! I'm going to have to make him some of these, they're brilliant :)

We love Shaun -who's Timmy? Must investigate. Congratulations to your husband on the job.
Posted by: Isabelle | 10 April 2009 at 23:51

Not seen Timmy yet but these look great, save one for me! Happy Easter Ali, I hope your mum appreciates them, I would! Love Salx
Posted by: Sal | 11 April 2009 at 10:52
These are fantastic! I saw the trailers for Timmy's own show but haven't caught any of them yet - we have the Shaun the Sheep DVDs in the house!
Must try to make a little timmy cake too!
Posted by: Di | 11 April 2009 at 14:32
I saw these in that booklet and never got around to trying them out. They look so good.
Yes my two have just started watching 'Timmy time' although I think they thought at first that it was Shaun the Sheep
Posted by: Thimbleina | 11 April 2009 at 15:57
Wow - those are cute! Hope you have a great Easter Weekend!
Posted by: Jane Weston | 11 April 2009 at 20:07
Oh I loove these! So amazing!!
Posted by: Meredith | 12 April 2009 at 09:30
Timmy Time is a BIG hit in this house, too! So I've been keeping the smallest person in my house away from the computer when I'm here so he doesn't see your creations!!!!! I know, such a bad Mum - or maybe just a good Mum with no time!!!!
Posted by: Karen J | 12 April 2009 at 09:54
They are truly amazing. So gorgeous!
Posted by: rhubarb | 12 April 2009 at 11:37
Cakey brilliance! My two would love these as they're utterly obsessed with Timmy at the moment (after a long-standing obsession with Shaun the sheep!). I must have a go at these with them, though I fear that my modelling skills may not be up to the job!
Posted by: Helen | 12 April 2009 at 15:30
Love them!
Posted by: Kate | 13 April 2009 at 10:18
You are a cupcake queen to be sure, I hope your mother enjoyed them.
Posted by: Rebecca | 15 April 2009 at 11:31

These are sooo cute, I love them!
Posted by: Woollywotnots | 16 April 2009 at 14:28
I love these - going to make some today!
Posted by: Michaela | 20 April 2009 at 08:09
How cool are they? I wish I'd known about these before my two children's birthdays (earlier this month), they both love Shaun and Timmy (despite now being 10 and 7...) It helps that their mother can also laugh hysterically at Shaun's antics..
Just found your blog through Julie's Little Cotton Rabbits.
