Butterfly Cake

This was a last-minute order from a guy at work who wanted a 'larger than sheet-cake' sized, butterfly-shaped cake for his girlfriend. With 2 days notice during the work week. In other words - a major rush job.

He wanted a simple white cake with vanilla frosting. A simple, HUGE white cake.

I made this using 4 sheet cakes and a whole bunch of vanilla buttercream icing. A whole bunch.

The antennae...I know what you are thinking, but these weren't the FINAL antennae for the cake. At least I don't think he used these. My wife fashioned some chocolate antennae while I was at work. They were fragile enough that we decided to give them to the client so he could insert them in the cake once he got home. Hopefully he did, because these are just....sad. Very sad.

Delaney's Ladybug cake

I made this cake for my daughter's 8th birthday. It was my first shaped cake - made using a Wilton pan. This was also my first cake using the star tip.
