this one was a while in the making. very simple overall, but we had so much going on over the weekend and for her birthday in general that it seemed as though it would never come together. in the end bella decided to let me surprise her as far as the cake theme went. an excellent decision as it allowed me to go super simple and super sweet. just a cutesy little girl cake::
yet another design idea lifted from the pages of the cupcake book. i also couldn't help but add some of those ladybugs from the sunflower cupcakes. the butterflies are made with chocolate wafers. i was aiming at easy and smallish, but in the end it would have been nice to have done three tiers to allow for more of a butterfly swarm. though bella didn't mind at all, she loved it just the same::
happy birthday bell! and happy easter to all of you! hope you have a restful weekend and a lovely holiday!
