My baby butterfly
I had a lot of fun doing her party. I was inspired when I saw this book, Hello Cupcake. They had some beautiful butterflies that looked so fun to make. Of course, they were our first attempt and didn't turn out as good as the book, but I am pretty proud.
Wings & antenna - melted chocolate dark and pink (bought at local craft store, pre-colored)
Bodies - 4 brown M&Ms and/or Reese's Peices
Buttercream frosting
Vanilla cupcakes - used this recipe
Tips for assembling:
If you look closely on some of the butterflies you will notice candies under the wings, this holds them up in flight.
Make extra wings and lots of extra antennas. They may break.
My baby loved them. Can you tell?
Dear Lou - thanks for the best year of my life. You have made me such a better person. I love you more each day. You are my favorite girl in the world. Kisses!
Mama.
Happy happy birthday sweet little Lou!!

ReplyDeleteI have that same cupcake book! Only I haven't ventured to replicate any of them - and if I did, they definitely wouldn't turn out as well as yours did! Kudos!!
