1

Choose your Base

Select your favorite cupcake flavor to be the base of your Spring Butterfly Cakes. Whether it's rich chocolate, classic vanilla, or a zesty lemon, pick the one that tickles your taste buds the most.

2

Prepare the Butterflies

Using a butterfly-shaped cookie cutter or a steady hand and a knife, carefully cut out butterfly shapes from the top of each cupcake. Set aside the cut-out pieces; we'll use them later to assemble the wings.

3

Dreamy Frosting

Whip up a batch of your favorite frosting to give your butterflies their colorful wings. Play with different colors and flavors to match your cupcakes' personality. Add a drop of food coloring or a splash of extract to make them truly unique.

4

Decorate to Delight

Grab a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Fill it with your dreamy frosting and pipe the outline of the butterfly wings on each cupcake. Then, fill in the wings with beautiful swirls or smooth layers of frosting. Get creative and let your inner artist shine!

5

Wing Assembly

Remember those cut-out pieces from Step 2? Now it's time to use them as wings! Gently press them into the frosting, making sure they're secure and perfectly aligned with the butterfly bodies.

6

Finishing Touches

To give your Spring Butterfly Cakes that extra sparkle, sprinkle a touch of edible glitter or colorful sprinkles over the wings. This will make your creations truly enchanting!
