This butterfly cake with candy-coated wings is a sure way to attract friends at any party. Let the kids wash it down with nectar (fruit juice). Tip: Hit the candy store with the birthday boy or girl to find candies in his or her favorite colors. Buy candy by the quarter-pound so you don't get more than you need.
