Butterfly Cake

A mosaic of spring's prettiest pastels decorate this easy-to-make cake.

What you'll need:
1 16-ounce box pound cake mix
1 16-ounce container white frosting
2 bags M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies for Easter
9-inch cake pan
4 pink STARBURST® FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter, unwrapped (optional)
What to do:

Make the cake batter according to the directions on the package. Bake in a greased 9-inch cake pan.
Once baked, remove from pan and cool.
Cut the cake in half. Arrange the cake on a serving platter, turning the halves so that the rounded sides touch.
To shape the wings, cut out a 1-inch triangle from each straight side, 2-inches from the bottom, or click here and print out an easy template.
Completely frost the cake with the icing.
Design a mosaic pattern with M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies for Easter, and then press them into the top of the cake.
To make the butterfly's antennas, soften the STARBURST®
FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter in the microwave for approximately 5 seconds.
Then roll the candy into thin ropes and place them at the top of the butterfly.
Makes 1 butterfly that serves 10.
