This butterflies kid birthday cake idea was submitted by Nadine Breytenbach, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Decorating tips by Nadine:
Hard icing is the best to work with.
Ingredients for decorating:
Lots of different pastel coloured balls
Liquorice strips - not ropes
Any sparkly edible decorations
Tweezer and earbuds
The only way to get the balls to stick to the icing is to wet the spot with an earbud, if you wet the ball all the colour comes off. There is also edible fairy dust available, you use that to dust the entire butterfly after you have finished the decorating. I also put coloured vermicelli in the batter when I bake the cake. The kids love it, as it adds a bit of fun.

A round cake was cut and placed to get the shape of a butterfly and then decorated with icing. This is the first cake I decorated by myself,
