Green frosting 
Shredded coconut 
Yellow frosting

Cut an area out of the top center of each cupcake about the size of a quarter.  Lightly frost each cupcake with the green frosting.  Place the coconut in a large freezer bag.  Add a few drops of green food coloring. Close bag and shake to color coconut.  Place colored coconut into a large bowl. Dip the cupcakes into the coconut to cover.  Add a very small amount of yellow icing to the center of each cupcake.  Cut off one side of each doughnut hole giving it a flat surface just to one side.  Poke a toothpick into the doughnut hole.  Frost the doughnut hole with the yellow frosting.  Place the doughnut hole into the top of the cupcake, flat side up.  Taking a second doughnut hole do the same thing. Place this one on top of the first one flat side down.  Using a rolling pin flatten each gumdrop.  Cut the gumdrop in half.  Place one piece of the gumdrop into the front of the top doughnut hole.  Place the other piece of gumdrop right under it to make a beak.  Use the black gel to make the eyes.

In Like a Lion Out Like a Lamb

Ingredients:

1 1/4-oz. package dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Poppy seeds
Raisins

Instructions:

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water.  When yeast is completely dissolved add 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir.  Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until bubbles begin to appear.  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Once the butter has melted pour in the milk and heat until just starting to get warm.  Pour milk into the yeast.  Add 1/4 cup of sugar and salt.  Add both flours one at a time to the yeast.  Stir until dough starts to become stiff.  Place dough on a flour surface and knead until dough becomes smooth about 10 minutes.  Butter a large bowl and place dough into bowl.  Cover and let rise about 1 hour.  Dough should double in size. After the dough has doubled use your fists to punch it down.  To make the lion take a large piece of the dough and shape it into a body.  Take smaller pieces of dough to make the lion head, legs and tail.  Place the lion body on a cookie sheet sprayed with a cooking spray.  Take a small amount of the dough and place it in a garlic press.  Squeeze out the pieces of dough to use for the lions mane and end of his tail.  Add raisins for the eyes.  For the lamb take a large amount of dough and shape it into an oval for the body.  Using smaller amounts of dough make a head, legs and a tail.  Place on another prepared cookie sheet.  Cover the legs and face with the poppy seeds.  Take more dough through a garlic press and place it on the lamb for its wool.  Use raisins again for the eyes.  Cover both cookie sheets with plastic wrap and allow them to rise to double their original size. Place the egg in a small mixing bowl. Add the water and beat together.  Once the dough has risen use a pastry brush to lightly brush each animal with the egg water mixture.  Be careful not to smash your animals while doing this.   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly brown and hollow when tapped on the bottom.
