I return to work tomorrow and thought it would be nice to bring in some cupcakes to say thanks to my colleagues for covering during my absence. I made these butterfly cupcakes a couple years ago but since we have so many new people, I thought I would bring them back.
I made the chocolate wings on Saturday morning and then baked the cupcakes in the evening. For the chocolate wings, I decided to get fancy and make them in three different colours. Sometimes I like to make life harder than it needs to be.
This morning I got up to make the icing - yellow for the cupcake and chocolate for the body of the butterfly. After that, they were ready to assemble.
All in all, I think they turned out okay. I was definitely feeling a little rusty. It's been quite a few months since I did any decorating. But even if they aren't perfect, I'm sure they'll be welcomed by my co-workers. Everyone loves sugar, right?!
