Lady Bug Cake


Made this for my little girls 2nd birthday.  She loved it!

  • 1 cake box
  • 1 medium metal or glass bowl
  • 1 small glass bowl
  • mini Oreos
  • white chocolate melting chips
  • Buttercream Frosting
  • Red food coloring
  • Black food coloring
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Make cake according to directions on box.  Pour batter between, well greased and floured, bowls.  The smaller bowl baked for about 20 minutes.  The larger bowl baked for about 35-45 minutes.  Let them cool for 15-20 minutes. Turn over on foil covered cardboard. 

Frost the larger section first. Add a line of black down the middle, I used the writing frosting you buy in a tube, and add half an Oreo while frosting is still wet.  Frost the back side and sides of the head, then place it on the body.  Frost the face.  Place two white melting chips on for the eyes while the frosting is still wet, so the stay on.  I dipped my finger in black frosting and placed a dot in each eye.  I then melted white chocolate in a small Ziploc bag.  Cut a small hole in the corner and piped a mouth and eyelashes on.  I then placed two candles in the top of the head.
