Alternatively a single tier white colored cake can be decorated with pink or red butterflies. Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. When ready to decorate, cut out the center of each cupcake, angling the knife at a 45º angle.
Remove cupcakes from the tin, place on cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Line a cupcake tin with 10 cases. What you need is an ordinary round cake, (choose your favorite cake base) and cut and arrange into butterfly shape, decorate with icing and sprinkles. Turn each half around so the cut sides are facing outward and the curved sides are almost touching, like butterfly wings. Then, place a long piece of candy or fondant icing between the cake halves to create the butterfly’s.
