Prep Time 40 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Tray or cardboard (10x10 inches), covered with wrapping paper and plastic food wrap or foil
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
1 candy stick (8 to 10 inches long)

  • Stir food color into reserved frosting until well blended. Spread over cake in desired pattern on wings. Outline wing patterns with gel. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Place jelly beans on corners of wings. Decorate butterfly with candy decorations. Store loosely covered.
