Butterfly Cake

Butterfly Birthday Cake

My first butterfly cake and I think only my second time trying my hands at carving!


For this cake I printed off a coloring page from on-line and re-traced it on wax paper to fit the size of the cake I had. I cute out the butterfly and laid it on top of the cake so I would carve around the outside for the shape. After I peeled off the wax paper, I just used a knife to outline the design of the butterflies wings on the cakes and used different colored buttercream frosting to fill in.

I wish I would have outlines the entire butterfly's wings in the black to define them better in the picture.

The birthday girl requested pastel pink, purple and yellow for her butterfly.
