my daughter saw this and her eyes got so big and asked in the cutest voice “can i have that for my birthday party?”
she’ll be four in august – how could i refuse?
thanks!!!!
Aww! How cute is she?!! Have fun making it!
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!
Yay! I’m so glad it worked for you!
How do I make the snowballs?
You can find the Snoballs at stores in the snack aisles!
