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.

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.

FAMILY FUN'S BUTTERFLY CAKE (FOR DUMMIES)

Happy Birthday, --Tasty Dish-- and this marks my 1,000th recipe posted on the site. I predict this recipe will somehow make its way to cakewrecks.com...

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.
