Butterfly Cake

Alexa requested yet another cake for her birthday, so for the Murray family party at Juli's I whipped up a butterfly darn quick. Only 2 hours for baking, cutting, crumb coat, napping, then decorating. I managed to pull it together while napping during all the wait times. Then I realized I had no way to transport it to Juli's in the car. So I thought it best to capture the before pictures and skip the after. It only slid a little.

I'm actually thinking I may have done it upside down. Do the big wings go at the top or bottom of the butterfly? Amanda got to help with the decorating once she came home from school, so I let her add gummy bugs the whole way around and we added a grass area just to stuff more candy into the mix.

It was definitely fun and a big hit. I'd love to do it again when I have more time to add detail. It was very easy to make!
