how to make a butterfly cake

i LOVE creative food ideas (in fact i am going to start another blog soon so i can bookmark all my favorites for future use). this butterfly cake is so easy and you don’t even need a fancy cake pan.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Make the cake batter according to the directions on the package. Bake in a greased 9-inch cake pan. Once baked, remove from pan and cool.

2. Cut the cake in half. Arrange the cake on a serving platter, turning the halves so that the rounded sides touch. To shape the wings, cut out a 1-inch triangle from each straight side, 2-inches from the bottom.

3. Completely frost the cake with the icing. Design a mosaic pattern with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter, and then press them into the top of the cake.

4. To make the butterfly’s antennae, unwrap and soften the STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter in the microwave for approximately 5 seconds. Then roll the candy into thin ropes and place them at the top of the butterfly.
