Recipe

  1. Step 1 1

    Make up your cake mix or own yummy cake mix and add red food colouring :D
    be quite generous to get a dark red colour.

  2. Step 2 2

    Pour your red cake mix into one of them baking trays for little cakes.
    don't forget cake cases :D

  3. Step 3 3

    In the oven at 270c for 20mins or so, you know they are cooked when you can poke them with a fork or something lgihtly and it doesn't leave a hole :)

  4. Step 4 4

    when they are done LET THEM COOL !!
    i always want to decorte things straight away in my impatience >.<

  5. Step 5 5

    While you are waiting for them to kool we can make the buttercream icing :D
    you add a big dollop of butter/maragine and lots and lots of cing sugar into a bowl and mix mix mix until it's smooth enough to be spreadable
    add a drop of milk to help it mix smoother if needed

  6. Step 6 6

    now when the cakes are cool we cut the top off with a knife

  7. Step 7 7

    then cut that bit that we cut off in half :)
    like when you're making butterfly cakes these are the wings :D

  8. Step 8 8

    Cover the main bit of the cake with a layer of buttercreamm

  9. Step 9 9

    And place the wings, straight side up flat onto the cakes, leaving some space at the front so we have room for a head

  10. Step 10 10

    Them splodge dots of black food colouring on your wings :D

  11. Step 11 11

    now add a blob of buttercream for a head and add two little silver balls for eyes, or anything else you want to use for eyes really :)
