We show you how to make 4 insect-themed birthday cakes step by step—including ladybugs, a butterfly and more.
Ants
Here's the perfect cake for your curious ant watcher—and the only time you'll allow bugs in the house!
Almond M&M's form the bodies of scurrying ants, while yodel snack cakes make a magnificent handle.
Ladybug Cupcakes
Cupcake ladybugs bring just as much good luck as the kind you find in the garden.
These cute button-shaped bugs are actually Mallomars covered in red frosting.
Butterfly
This gumdrop-topped butterfly will set little hearts aflutter.
Follow our pattern for this butterfly's wings or roll out your own geometric candy shapes.
Spider Cupcakes
Who could be afraid of these sweet, chocolate crawlers?
For spider legs that are cute and not creepy, use yellow Runts.
