Fondant cow cupcakes

I have been practicing cow cupcakes lately for an upcoming baby shower. I am still learning how to make cupcakes with fondant. I am good with cookie cutter shapes, but these are different. The baby shower I am making these for at the end of the month is for my future sister-in-law, who is also an amazingly talented cake decorator! So, I want my cupcakes to be perfect!

I'm pretty proud of how these cows turned out. I looked online at tons of cow cupcakes. I saw some made with buttercream, some with black frosting, candy eyes, and cookies and candies for the faces, but none looked as good as fondant cows. Since I am currently dieting (I'm down 26 pounds! Just a few more to go!) and I didn't want a bunch of cupcakes sitting in my kitchen calling me to eat them, I used this Cupcakes for Two recipe I found on Pinterest. It's a decent recipe and it was great only having two cupcakes to deal this!

I've got some more ideas for the final cows, but, I'll keep those a secret until after the shower. I'll update this post after that!
