A butterfly cake is a classic British children's party cake made from a simple fairy cake.

The top of the fairy cake is cut off or carved out with a spoon, and cut in half. Then butter cream, whipped cream or other sweet filling is spread into the hole. Finally, the two cut halves are stuck into the butter cream to look like butterfly wings.

This one is in a polka dot "paper" case made from spotty felt ;)

Made from recycled felt and stuffed with polyfil. Completely hand sewn and stuffed.

Please note that as each cake is hand cut and sewn, the case icing and "wings" may very slightly in each piece.
