Butterfly Happy Birthday Cake

Posted On September 29, 2010

Okay!!! This Butterfly cake is the final one, I made for Riya’s 5th day. I was more interested in cake decorating rather than baking, So I bought the ready-made flat circular cakes from the shop(also called as Biscuit Boden). Â It was 5 layered cake and each layer was about an inch thickness of 24cm diameter. The idea of making Butterfly started here. The first thing which attracted me is that, to cut the circular-shaped cake into a butterfly model without wasting a single bit of cake. The decoration I did by myself.

The icing I had chosen is a Vanilla Buttercream icing. More than the time I took to decorate, I spent a lot of time in search of the perfect candy to decorate on the butterfly. The children liked the little red bugs and the cake. I also used a Strawberry flavored candy spray-on wings side. After spreading the pink, blue, and green for the wings, I also used a piping cone to outline the 3 colored wings. Since I am in the experimenting phase, it didn’t come quite perfectly, I hope it will get improve.

Sending this colorful cake to the event in Akila’s Kitchen. She has got a good collection of seafood recipes.
