Butterflies

My friend's birthday is today and we are headed to their house for a birthday dinner. I offered to make a cake, she wanted a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. That's always a classic, great tasting cake but it looks so sad if it just has the brown chocolate frosting with no color. My wonderful friend Elizabeth recently sent me the Hello, Cupcake book and I was inspired to use their beautiful candy butterflies. After a couple of attempts I got a good method down for making them and used some of them to decorate Katie's birthday cake! I hope she likes it (and that the butterflies survive the ride over).
