Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray bottoms and sides of two 8- or 9-inch round pans. Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds. Wrap and freeze 1 layer for later use. Freeze remaining layer 45 minutes before cutting to reduce crumbs.
- Cut off rounded top of cake to make flat surface; place cake cut side down. Cut cake in half crosswise; cut each half into 1/3 and 2/3 pieces (as shown in diagram). Place cake pieces on platter to form butterfly. Gently separate cake pieces to form wings.
- Reserve 1/2 cup frosting; set aside. Spread top and sides of cake with thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting. Frost cake with remaining frosting. Place candy stick between cake pieces for butterfly body.
- Stir food color into reserved frosting until well blended. Spread over cake in desired pattern on wings. Outline wing patterns with gel. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Place jelly beans on corners of wings. Decorate butterfly with candy decorations. Store loosely covered.

RAINBOW BUTTERFLY CAKE
This is a show stopper! I haven't met anyone yet, who wasn't amazed at how gorgeous this cake is. It is a very simple white cake recipe, that works very well as a special occasion cake, or for something simple. It tastes like a sugar cookie. My son calls it the "sugar cookie cake." Once cake is turned out onto the platter, you can frost it with your favorite topping, or use melted chocolate and sprinkles.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2x11-inch butterfly-shaped cake pan.
- Mix flour and baking powder together in a small bowl.
- Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well blended. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition.
- Divide batter equally into 4 or 5 small cups and add several drops of food coloring to each cup, mixing well to color batter evenly. Layer small amounts of colored batter randomly in the prepared cake pan, using a toothpick to swirl colors gently. Continue until all batter has been added to the pan and colors have been swirled.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.

BUTTERFLY CAKE
Emerging from a 13- x 9-inch pan, this bright idea comes from Sue Gronholz of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. "I pipe on some frosting, but you can simply decorate with purchased candies and cake trims if you prefer," she notes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a cupcake tin with 10 cases. To make the sponge, tip the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder and milk into a large mixing bowl and beat with either a hand whisk or electric mixer until smooth, pale and combined. Divide the batter between the cases and bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle of a cake comes out clean. Leave on a wire rack to cool.
- While the cakes are cooling, make the buttercream by beating together the icing sugar, butter and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Mix in the extra milk if the icing feels too stiff.
- Once the cakes are cool, use a sharp knife to slice off the tops, then cut the tops in half. Pipe or spread the buttercream on top of the cakes, then gently push two semi-circular halves into the buttercream on each cake, doing this at an angle to look like butterfly wings. You can serve the cupcakes at this stage, or decorate them with a little blob of jam in the centre and a scattering of sprinkles, if you like.

Steps:
- *Note: I must confess that I cheated and used a box of 'Baker Josef's Golden Yellow Cake Mix' from Trader Joe's. Sincere apologies to my loyal fans who depend on me for made-from-scratch recipes. Also, it's worth mentioning I made two cakes-one using a standard 9" pie pan and the other using a 9" cast iron skillet. The cake baked in the cast iron skillet turned out far better. To remove the cake from the pan *after it has cooled completely*, first take a knife and run along the edge of the pan to loosen. Place a wire cookie rack over the top of the pan, invert carefully and set aside. I used two spatulas and carefully moved the cake from the wire rack to the cake serving plate to frost it. This method worked best for this inexperienced cake baker. Two cakes were made in case of any mistakes. The second cake was cut in half then in half again and made into "baby butterflies".
- Other candy decorating suggestions: M&Ms (regular or mini size), gummy candy, non pareils, sprinkles, etc.
- Once cake has baked and cooled *completely*, cut the cake in half (see photo) and place the two halves close together with the flat/straight cut side facing out and curved sides facing each other (leave about a 3/4" gap between the two halves).
- Frost. For my test cake: The main body/wings and Twinikie were frosted yellow, the inner body pink. I made a pattern out of a piece of paper for the inner wing design. Placed the piece on paper on the cake halves and using a toothpick made small holes around the edge of the pattern as my guide. Then I carefully drew the line with the toothpick. Remove paper and frosted the main section first then the inner wing. (See photo.).
- Frost the Twinkie and place it on top of the two cut cake halves between the wings for the butterfly's body.
- *Decorate the wings with candies and adding licorice antennae to the Twinkie. (I just curled the ends of the licorice and placed the pieces on the plate.).
- *Tip: it's best to decorate the cake right before serving [depending] on the candies you choose. As an example, if you use M&M candies, the dye will run and stain the frosting. Fortunately I was able to frost the cake the day before and due to the type of candies used had no staining problems.

- Assemble the cake on the serving plate. It is easier to decorate the butterfly in position, as it can't be moved once made. Place the candy length down the center of the plate. This serves as the butterfly's body. Place the two wings on opposite sides of the candy, resting on the plate. Face the curve in toward the butterfly's body, the straight edges facing outward.
- Decorate the wings. The wings can be decorated in any fashion you like. The basics are: Ice or frost both sides of the cake. Stick candies onto the cake in symmetrical patterns on each wing (mimic the same pattern, mirror image, both sides). Sprinkle with edible glitter, sprinkles, or other small cake decorating items.
- Add a head and antennae. Use a round candy ball for the head. Unroll licorice lengths or similar candy to make the antennae––then re-roll the top portion to give it a little curl.
50+ BEST BUTTERFLY BIRTHDAY CAKES IDEAS AND DESIGNS (2022)

- Bake a simple three tier cake and use butterfly figurines as cake toppers. You can use various butterfly figurines around the cake to make it look more attractive.
- If you want to bake a small size cake then one good idea would be to make flying butterfly on the top of the cake. Here is a pink butterfly cake.
- You can buy butterfly cake pans and can make your very own butterfly cake. It may not be large in size but it would work good with the main cake.
- One interesting idea would be to bake a square cake and cut it off in the shape of the butterfly. You can use different colors on the top of the cake and it will represent the colorful wings of the butterfly.
- If you do not want to cut the cake in different pieces then you can make the cake in the shape of the butterfly and make the face of butterfly on the top of the cake.
- Butterflies are synonymous with flowers so no matter how big or small your cake is you should not forget to use flowers along with them.
- Another great idea would be to use butterflies that are equal to the age of the birthday boy/girl. Here is an example of butterfly birthday cake for a 18 year old girl.
- Here is a beautiful pink color butterfly birthday cake. Look at the wings of this butterfly, an example of perfect detailed work.
- If you are baking a simple cake and do not want to use butterfly as cake topper then you can give try to flying butterflies design on the side.
