Amazing butterflies. My cup cakes barely get the icing on them before they get eaten. I have some bought embellishments. My two daughters still like to decorate cookies and cakes at Christmas.

Such cute butterfly cupcakes, and decorating. All look delicious.
I just saw your snack for Friday night (biscotti) - one of my favourite things to bake, and always a great hit with friends. Mind you if any family member finds them first the friends will miss out for sure.

Such fun butterflies! They look great. My kids love helping in the kitchen so when they're on school holidays, we may have more time to make sweet yumminess.
