I subscribe to e-mails from kraftfoods.com and they sent me the recipe for this fun butterfly cake. Courtney wants me to make it for her birthday. I think it will be pretty simple. Here's the recipe....I'm thinking we'll make it and take it to Dan and Laurie's cabin on the 6th!
Beautiful Butterfly Cake
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
1/3 cup raspberry jam
12 OREO Cookies
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
food coloring
1 cup fruit-flavored sweetened rice cereal
Decorations: assorted ring-shaped hard candies and Mini OREO Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
PREPARE cake batter and bake in two 9-inch round baking pans as directed on package. Cool 10 min.; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
CUT cakes crosswise in half. Spread two of the cake halves with jam; top with remaining two cake halves to form two stacks. To assemble, arrange cookies in center of large board or tray with edges slightly overlapping to form the "butterfly's body," securing cookies to each other with small amount of the whipped topping. Arrange cake stacks around body to resemble the butterfly's wings.
TINT remaining whipped topping with food coloring as desired. Spread onto cakes. Decorate with whipped topping, cereal, candies and cookies. Store in refrigerator.

Congrats on the run. I'm watching the olympics right now thinking of you being an olympic runner! JEN in 2012!
Enjoy your pictures. Just home from the reunion in Wis.Long day 9hrs. on the road and 5 hrs there.It was fun but we only had about 30 there.They all missed the rest of the family. Kathryn Briggs was there from the nursing home just as sharp as ever. we spent the day loking at old photos and other pictures that others had brought. I brought some also.
The cake looks good. Congrats Jenny that is a very good time.
Wow-mom that is a long day. I'm glad you had a nice time. I faintly remember Kathryn-how old is she now?
