Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Whipped Cream Frosting

  • 500 ml whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 5 tbsp icing sugar
  • 200 g cream cheese

For Colours & Chocolate Cream

  • 2–3 drops pink food colour
  • 1 cup melted chocolate
  • 1 cup whipping cream (extra for chocolate mixture)

For Assembling

  • 2 layers of vanilla sponge cake (link in description)
  • Milk for soaking
  • Edible butterflies
  • Golden sprinkles or golden balls ✨

Let’s Start Making the Magic!

Step 1: Make the Base Cream

This is the main frosting we’ll be using for layers and decoration.

  1. Add whipping cream, vanilla extract, and icing sugar in a bowl.
  2. Beat until it becomes thick, fluffy, and smooth.
  3. Add the cream cheese and beat again until you get a creamy, foamy texture.
    This is the point where your kitchen smells like a bakery — and it feels amazing.

Step 2: Divide and Colour the Cream

  1. Separate the cream into two bowls.
  2. In the first bowl, add pink food colour. Mix until you get a soft baby-pink shade.
    (Gen-Z approved pastel aesthetic 💖)
  3. In the second bowl, mix 1 cup whipped cream + 1 cup melted chocolate.
    This creates a smooth, rich chocolate cream that adds depth to your layers.

Step 3: Layer the Cake Like a Pro

This part feels so satisfying!

  1. Place your first vanilla sponge layer on the board.
  2. Soak it lightly with milk to make it super soft and moist.
  3. Spread a generous layer of chocolate cream.
  4. Add a layer of white cream.
  5. Place the second sponge layer, soak again, and repeat the filling.
  6. Apply a light crumb coat around the cake and chill for 10 minutes.
    (This keeps everything neat and perfect.)

Step 4: Time to Decorate – Butterfly Style 🦋✨

This is where the fun begins!

  1. Cover the entire cake with white and pink cream, blending them however you like.
    You can create a soft ombré look or pastel swirls — totally up to your vibe.
  2. Use a piping bag to design simple butterfly wings on top or around the cake.
  3. Add butterfly toppers, mini butterflies, golden balls, and edible glitter.
  4. Step back and admire your cake… because it looks beautiful.

Your Stunning Homemade Butterfly Birthday Cake is now ready.
Soft, creamy, pretty, and full of love — just like the moment you’re creating it for.
