Bake a batch of cupcakes and allow to cool.To make the sheep faces split the regal icing into 6 x 10g pieces and roll into balls.
Keep the remaining icing covered to prevent it from drying out.Near the top of each ball, press down firmly with your thumb to create an indent - this is where you will add the eyes. Using a toothpick, create the nostril on the bottom part of the ball (which is still rounded).
Using the remaining black regal icing, split into 12 small balls then roll between your fingers to create a long tear shape for the ears. Attach the ears to the face with edible glue.
Roll 12 small balls of white regal icing for the sheep eyes and attach to the face with edible glue. Add a dot of edible glue to each eye and add a small ball of black icing for the pupil.
Taking a sharp knife, indent and make a mouth on each sheep face.Make a batch of buttercream icing then using your piping bag, start icing each cupcake from the outside in, making small 'swirls' to give a 'wool' effect.
Add each sheep face immediately after you've finished piping the buttercream before it dries out.
Pipe 3 little 'wool' balls onto each sheep forehead and your cupcake is complete!
