Sheep Generation 2?


Kind of scary- eyeball staring with no bodies, yet...
So the classic, G1 sheep is on the left. G2 is on the right.
Waiting for a new home

Every flock has one black sheep!

It's been a while since I took an order for sheep cupcakes.
They are so cute and fun to make! AND very labor intensive.
Each little head is sculpted by hand, ears placed and eyes set.
Depending on how the pupils are colored in AND how steady 
my hand is feeling, well some of them stare at you, look 
quizzical or kind of look angry.  Angry Sheep?

It's funny to see all their faces 
all together, since it appears that each one has a personality
of their own. I KNOW this sounds crazy...

G2 sheep is a bit easier and takes out the labor of cutting mini
marshmallows in half, since each sheep takes at least 50 halves.
The marshmallows on G2 are just finger-squished till the centers 
are flat and they look like a Cheerios with a solid hole.
Call me crazy but they work, and have more texture to them.
What do you think, G1 or G2?
They taste the same  and just look more FUN?
You can let me know...
