Final note: I’m a terrible cake decorator and have only attempted it a few times. Our daughter Kate is a pro, so I usually hold back and let her perform her magic. HERE are a few of her creations. When our youngest daughter, Ashley turned 2 years old, I decided to make a cake for her. She liked butterflies and she liked chocolate, so I made a butterfly shaped chocolate cake. Sounds good, right? Well it looked awful. I added a few M&Ms to jazz it up and my wife and young kids made fun of me for about 30 years. So this cookie cake has a token dark butterfly, just to show them I really do LOVE them. Sticks and stones ….
