cupcake of the month - butterflies

for mother's day, my parents got me this really neat cupcake cookbook full of different and fun ways to make cupcakes. molly was very excited about it as well and has been asking to "do them". her favorite is the butterfly so last night we got everything we needed to make the butterfly cupcakes. they were very time consuming so we only made 9 butterflies. we turned it into a bit of a science lesson and molly learned that butterfly wings look the same on both sides. so, in decorating, we made sure the butterflies had the same design on both wings. here's how they turned out.

  1. Those look so yummy and that is great that you were able to turn it into an educational lesson as well! Making learning fun is a real gift! Look forward to more cupcake "lessons" :)

  2. We made cupcakes recently too, but nothing so fancy! (Though our frosting was delicious.) Love the butterflies!! Maybe we'll have to try them. Great to see you today and I've enjoyed catching up on your past month doings. :) You've been blogging a ton this month!
