For Relief Society (women's church group) I was put in charge of making the party cupcakes. So we (Matt & I) decided to have fun with it and spruce up your typical little frosted cake. We have a tried & true chocolate cake recipe that we topped with green tinted cream cheese frosting and added some small green sprinkles for texture.
The butterflies are made out of chocolate that we piped on with frosting bags - first the brown outline then the colored center. We had to move quickly because it would harden fast. Then we used toothpicks to blend them together and make patterns and swirls, finishing them off with some white sprinkles on the wing tips. We made each wing separately then piped the chocolate body on last once they were assembled on the cup cakes. 
Showing off our wax paper that we outlined the butterflies on - definitely something that requires such a stoic expression.
Tired yet pleased.

Those are GORgeous. I wish I could have been there to have one.
Quit your day job! They are amazing! Would that not be cute for Nan's cake?
Luvins!
Those look amazing Candice! I am so impressed! I bet they were a lot of work, but a lot of fun!
Nicely done.
I could eat three right now.
These were not only delicious but very beautiful! I ate two and then kept trying to think of people to give the leftovers to. You just can't let such beauty go to waste! Thanks for making these, Candice & Matt!
Amazing!! Let's have M&C cupcakes at the next family party!
Beautiful! It's neat that you two like to make treats together. The only role Ryan takes in my treat making adventures is the eating one.
