I made this Lady Bug Cake for my daughter’s 6th birthday.
I began by baking 2 sheet cakes and 1 Wilton Duck cake. I place the first sheet cake and frosted it with red frosting that I made by mixing red food coloring into the frosting. Next, I used 1/2 sheet cake and place it on top of the 1st layer. I used plain white frosting for the second layer. Next, I used just the head of the duck cake to make the 2 lady bugs and frosted them with the remaining red frosting. I used black icing for the dots on the lady bugs. Pipe cleaner for the antenna. Green icing with the leaf tip for the grass. And chocolate candy wafers for the dot around the cake. I used melted candy wafers, colored them red and made them into the shape of wings for the sides of the cakes. The eyes are from the craft store.
This cake was a big hit and my daughter, Harleigh, was super excited.
This cake is a hot mess
Good try.
Nice idea but it looks like it’s melting. Little bit of a hot mess!!
What a mess that is. Hope you went to the bakery to buy the kid a real cake
