Monarch Butterfly Cupcakes

Last weekend I got bored and decided to take out some cupcakes from the freezer and decorate them, just for us. No biggy....Which turned into a big Biggy! I was flipping through my book of cupcakes figuring I would find a simple one to do, then Mom walked into the room right when I was flipping to the Monarch Butterfly cupcakes. Needless to say that's what I did! But really, it was fun doing them and they end up looking a lot more complicated than what they really are. 

First I took the butterfly outline, traced it on parchment paper and flipped it over (marker side down). Melt both orange and dark chocolate (I used Milk Chocolate) Candy Melts, separately of course. Trace the outside of the butterfly with the dark chocolate, fill with the orange and use a toothpick to carefully pull the dark chocolate into the orange chocolate. 

I probably didn't explain that very well, but when you see them you will understand.

With out further explanation, here they are. Monarch Butterflies on Cupcakes.
