Sweet Butterfly

Ten sweet designs from FamilyFun

6 of 11

This butterfly cake with candy-coated wings is a sure way to attract friends at a summer garden party. Let the kids wash it down with nectar (fruit juice).

1 baked 8- or 9-inch round cake
2 cups chocolate frosting
1 cup yellow frosting
1 Twinkie
Jelly fruit slices
Assorted candies
Red string licorice

Cut the cake in half, then arrange and frost as shown. Frost the Twinkie and place it between the wings for the butterfly's body. Decorate the wings with candies, adding licorice antennae.

TESTER'S 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.
