Product Information

What could be better than a startled sheep perched on top of a cupcake? These little treats are really easy to make and as a bonus, completely delicious! I made a batch of my ultra-moist chocolate cupcakes, smeared some vanilla buttercream on then placed my marshmallows. Boom, 95% done! The faces come together in a snap but if possible make them a day ahead so they can dry out. A great alternative to the traditional Easter egg, children and adults alike are sure to fall in love with Woolliam’s earnest expression and tasty treats. The tiddly pot is easy to share if you want to - but we think you should keep Woolliam to yourself! I know they’re simple and I’m probably telling you something you already know, but these are here for my children and for all those young people out there stepping out into the world who DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CHOCOLATE KRISPIE CAKE!

When I first wrote this post in 2016 we were all vegetarian and two of us were about to go vegan.

Once your cupcakes have cooled, grab your piping bag filled with buttercream and pipe it onto your cupcake. It’s okay if you don’t have a perfect oval shape or the correct size. You can modify it with a small knife, like I did!

If you are about to fly the nest you need to know how to actually make chocolate nests don’t you?! How To Make Chocolate Rice Krispie Cakes Some crispy cake recipes call for cocoa powder but I love the oozy sumptuousness of chocolate for these little treats. Sister Genevieve is originally from the town of Richmond in Queensland, Australia where her father ran a sheep station. Following five years in Tangier, where she worked in the British consulate, she entered religious life in 1980. "My monastery closed in Australia but I had previously studied liturgy in Carlow and so I eventually came to Kylemore in 2002," she says. "Later, I found out that it was the grandfather of a good friend of mine from Tangier, Muriel Mitchell Henry, who built Kylemore Abbey." The RTÉ Guide's Donal O'Donoghue visits Kylemore Abbey where the 'Chocolate Nun’, Sister Genevieve, and her team are busy making fine chocolate and luxury soap.
