Butterfly Cakes

The butterfly cake is a simple yet delicious variant on the fairy or cup cake. It is the same key recipe with a more interesting topping.

Once the cakes are made and they have cooled. You remove the top of the cake and cut it in half (these halves are the cakes "wings").

You fill the whole created by the top being removed with buttercream. Although I am not a big fan of buttercream, I have found a recipe that creates a very sweet and lump-less cream. I will post this soon. 

The "wings" are dipped in a melted chocolate of your choice (I chose white) and then dipped in hundreds and thousands or sprinkles. They are then stuck in to the buttercream, with luck creating the appearance of a butterfly.
