250 g. confectioners sugar
125 g. butter
Red food coloring
1 round sponge cake
2 tbsp. flaked coconut, colored sugar, or hundreds & thousands
2 candy striped straws

Beat butter and confectioners sugar until very smooth and creamy. Add the food coloring, a drop at a time, until the mixture is pink. Cut the cake in half, turn each half around placing the curved edges together. Spread the butter icing all over the sides and the top of the butterfly. Sprinkle the coconut to give a furry look. Place one straw down the center of the cake for the body. Sprinkle the colored sugar or hundreds & thousands to make the patterns on the wings. Cut the second straw in half and push the halves into the cake to make the "antennae".
