Seriously. How cute are these?
I wasn't sure how these Butterfly Cupcakes were going to turn out, but -- Wow! I'm impressed.
I started off by using the "How to Dress Up a Cake Mix" recipe. As I'm adding the flour, sugar, eggs, etc I'm thinking it's a lot like Making A Cake! But the cupcakes taste as good as they look, so I guess the recipe is a winner.
There were several steps involved: making the batter, coloring part of it and baking it like a sheet cake, cutting the butterfly shapes out of the sheet cake, centering the butterfly in a partially filled cupcake liner, and finally adding more cupcake batter on top of the butterfly.
All that being said, you'll not be too surprised when I say I won't be making these cupcakes again for a while. So, no professional baking for me.
But they sure are cute!
Sounds like the 40 layer jello dessert that your mom made I thought I had to do. Life's way too short to spend it watching jello set up in thin layers,
