Butterfly cakes can be used for a variety of occasions including baby showers, birthdays, weddings, graduation parties, Easter and more.
If your local party store doesn’t have a butterfly mold, do an online search. You will get dozens of links to sites that sell butterfly pans. You may also want to check the auction sites.
In addition to the standard baking supplies, you will want to get your butterfly pan. If you prefer you can use a square pan and cut your cake into four triangles and arrange them in a butterfly shape.
Decorating these cakes can be great fun. You can make them look realistic or be imaginative and create whimsical delicate patterns. Or use one of your favorite recipes to make boldly colored butterfly cakes.
