Cool Homemade Monarch Butterfly Cake

This butterfly cake was prepared using Wilton’s Butterfly Cake Pan and then freehand etched the design. I used #3 and #16 tips with lemon yellow, orange, black, and leaf green colors, but of course the color scheme can be changed for other species or just because….

The colors was mixed with traditional Buttercreme Icing, while the Black was tinted Chocolate Buttercreme. This particular cake was chocolate fudge with a caramel filling. Which I am sure will be as delicious as it was beautiful.

This cake was a surprise birthday gift for a friend that breeds monarchs and grows the plants that they feed off of. The cake was simple to ice, being that each and every Monarch pattern is different, so a mistake in conformity is totally acceptable.

This was the first time I had ever tried any type of butterfly, and I was very pleased with the end result!!!

I encourage everyone to try this design!! And, being as how I found this website while looking for ideas, I thought it would be fitting for me to also submit my cake.
