Well, back at it again. This time it is for the St. James Carnival and Bake Sale. We have had such a wonderful experience at St. James I wanted to give back to them in hopes they could make some money for such a great school! I decided to make butterfly cupcakes and a butterfly cake. The butterflies for the cupcakes are made out of chocolate with different color wings and different color buttercream frostings. You make these first so they have enough time to harden and then can attach to the cupcake. The cupcakes were both vanilla white cake and vanilla buttercream. The antennae are make out of chocolate. A lot of fun, but takes some work as I make the butterflies the night before.
The cake is also a butterfly using vanilla white cake and vanilla buttercream frosting. I decided not to include a filling as I wanted to make sure it stood up in the outside environment (the bake sale was being held outside this year). The wings are covered with sugar sprinkles to give it a little extra pop. My photographer forgot to take a finished picture with the chocolate antennae so this one is missing it, but it really added to the entire cake. The bake sale was a success as someone purchased the cake and 15 of the cupcakes for a dinner party that night! I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did making it!
