Ladybird

A friend of mine had her daughters' 1st birthday party over the weekend and I volunteered to do the cake. I always had birthday cakes out of the AWW birthday cake book so I wanted to make something along the same lines. I went for the 'Lazy Lady Beetle' cake. The cake is the standard butter cake recipe from the back of the book, I did it pink and purple marbled, but I forgot to take a photo! It looked pretty cool though.

I had a lot of fun making this cake!
