There are many designs and patterns for a butterfly birthday cake. You can choose one of these designs and celebrate the birthday with these nice-looking designs. For a butterfly shaped cake, you can create it using a round, single-layer cake. Use a regular round cake pan of any size to bake a single layer. Place the cooled cake on a stiff board that has been covered with aluminum foil, parchment paper or waxed paper. Cut a 1-inch strip from the center of the circle. This will become the body of the butterfly. Turn the two remaining half circles around to become the butterfly’s wings. Frost and decorate the cake. Use string licorice to create antennae for the butterfly cake.

A butterfly toy cake is another good idea. Buy small, plastic toy butterflies from the toy or party department of a discount store. Wash them in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. After frosting the cake, place the butterflies in various positions on the cake. For a bit of pizzazz, place clean silk or plastic flowers on the cake to create a butterfly garden for the plastic butterflies. Use a base of white frosting to make the colors of the toys or flowers show up well. Any shape–round, square or rectangle–will work for this butterfly cake.

Butterfly drawing cake can make a difference. Use white frosting as a base to start with on the cake. After frosting the cake (any size or shape works) use a toothpick to draw butterfly designs in the frosting. Color in the designs with frosting pens that are available in the baking department of most grocery stores. Use butterfly outlines from coloring pages (either from a coloring book or an online source such as dltk-kids.com) as a design basis.

Besides that, you can frost a cake of any size or shape–a sheet cake or a round cake will work equally well. Use candy pieces–M&M’s, Spree, Skittles, Sweet Tarts, Nerds, licorice–to create a butterfly-shaped design on the top of the cake. Use the candy to create an outline of a butterfly or take it a step further by filling in the wings with a variety of candies. Nerds candies could be shaped to create antennae. You could also use gummy worms to create the shape of a butterfly.

Making a butterfly cake is a breeze no matter which design you choose. You can even create your own designs with your creativity. This will make it more special and unique since it is specifically made.
