 A butterfly cake is a classic cake made from a simple fairy cake, also called a cupcake. Some authors give fairy cakes as an alternate name, and say that the wings refer to fairy wings.
It can be made from any flavor of 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 (e.g jam) is spread into the hole. Finally, the two cut halves are stuck into the butter cream to look like butterfly wings. The wings of the cake are often decorated using icing to form various patterns.
