Butterfly Birthday Cake

For Lady's 6th birthday I made a Butterfly Cake.

How To Make A Butterfly Cake

Items Needed:

• One prepared cake.
• Frosting (I think one recipe was enough but you could make a double batch and have extra for a yummy frosting graham cracker snack another day.)
• M&Ms
• One Bendy Straw

Butterfly Cake Directions

• Bake one cake in a round cake pan.  
• Let cool.
• Cut cake in half.
• Cut a triangle out of each piece about 1/3 of the way down.  One of the triangle should be a little longer.
• Place round sides of your halves together.
• Frost.
• Cut the straw in half lengthwise.  Place where antennae would belong.
• Decorate with M&Ms for body and pattern on butterfly.

I went the easy way and made a plain looking butterfly but Lady liked it and it tasted great!
