We love butterfly cakes as a family. They are so easy to make and yet feel so much fancier than typical fairy cakes. Over the years we’ve made traditional butterfly cakes, chocolate butterfly cakes and lemon butterfly cakes but our latest creation is this super easy blueberry butterfly cakes recipe.
