Ingredients

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix

1 individual cream-filled sponge cake

1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting

Red shoestring licorice

Assorted candies of your choice

Directions

• Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
• Cut one cake in half widthwise. (Save the second cake for another use or make two butterflies.) Cut a notch from the center of each cut side to show definition between the upper and lower wings. Let cake stand for 2 hours.
• On a round platter, position cake halves (with notched edges facing out) on each side of sponge cake. With a knife, cut the corners of wings so they are rounded. Frost top and sides of butterfly with chocolate frosting.
• Cut licorice into two small pieces; push ends into top of sponge cake for antennae. Decorate with assorted candies. Yield: 8 servings.
