I love it! My 3 year old is going to love this cake when I try my hand at it. The theme of her bedroom is butterflies and this looks so easy and great. Great cake!

We’ve had a couple of butterfly birthday parties! And I’m sure you’ve found an abundance of butterfly craft ideas, but we have also done quite a few here: https://www.motherhoodonadime.com/kids-topic/butterflies.

I’ve had this cake opened since you linked up to it 6 weeks ago or so. I made it yesterday for my daughter’s first birthday and it was SO easy and adorable. Her 3 y/o brother couldn’t quit looking at it. I did pink wings with pastel jelly beans as the candies and it received many compliments. Thanks!
Stacie Nelson says
