12 baked cupcakes
16 oz. Pink frosting
24 White Chocolate covered pretzels You should be able to find these at the grocery store pre-made
16 oz. Sixlets (spring mix) I used pastel Sixlets. Round chocolate candies for the body
7 oz. Coconut flakes for the antenna 2 for each cupcake

Bake cupcakes according to your cupcake recipe in the oven
Once cooled completely frost cupcakes - you do not need to do anything fancy. Simply spread the frosting onto the cupcakes
Right down the middle of the cupcake - Add sixlets for the butterfly body - I added 4 0r 5
Place the fudge pretzels for wings at an angle on either side of the body
Place sweetened coconut flakes for the antenna - just under the first Sixlet (I experimented with placement and this was the best look)

*You can probably get 24 cupcakes out of one cake box. Adjust the number of decorations you'll need for that amount

*Store cupcakes on the counter uncovered for up to one day or covered for up to 3
