This butterfly cake is really easy to make. All it takes is a round cake, a square cake, two Twinkies and decorations. Then, let your imagination take wing.

1. According to manufacturer’s directions divide the batter evenly between one 9-inch round pan and one 9-inch square baking pan. Let cool.
2. Cut the square cake diagonally. Cut the round cake in half. Cut one short end of each oblong cake into a point.
3. Carefully brush crumbs off cakes.  On a cooling rack set over sided cookie sheet place cakes.
4. Heat frosting in microwave 30 seconds on high; stir. Heat in 10 second intervals, stirring after each, until frosting is easily pourable.  Pour frosting over cake to cover; let dry completely. If needed, scrape excess frosting from cookie sheet, remelt and pour again. Repeat as often as necessary.
5. Decorate wings as desired, adhering decorations with frosting. On the frosted,rounded end of one of the oblong cakes place eyes. Slide the bamboo skewers into the rounded top end of the oblong cake with the eyes
