June 28th 2015 - Butterfly cakes
A couple of days ago lil man saw that we had cake icing in the cupboard and asked if we could make some cakes, sadly it wasn't long before he was going to bed so I said would have to be at the weekend. Saturday when he asked my knee was hurting too much to stand and do them so I said we would make them Sunday after we had our roast dinner.
We made the mix up and added purple colouring to it as thats what lil man wanted. We put them in the oven and I told him IF we could get them to rise enough we would make butterfly cakes. He didn't know what I meant so I had to explain. Well some of the cakes formed a peak (like mountains as he said) but not all of them. I said we would give it a try anyway.
So I set about cutting out the top and cutting it in half to make the wings. Lil man then helped to fill the holes with buttercream and stuck the wings in. We then added a glitter sparkle icing to them all. They looked really good, and tasted good as well.
