Butterlfy Cake


So I need to work on my ingredient buying skills. The picture in my baking book of the butterfly were so much nicer, only I bought cream that could not be whipped. I only found this out when I was getting ready to fill the cakes, there was a small sign on the corner of the label saying "not suitable for whipping". I will not buying that cream next time I make butterfly cakes. Aside from the cream running all the way down your arm when eating these (and the wings not being wings, more just flaps of cake sitting on top of the base), these were gorgeously delish. Nice and moist and not overpowering with vanilla (as I didn't think the set amount of vanilla essence was enough, so I added a bit more). If I were to make these again, I will deffinatly be buying a different type of cream. 
These also tasted good a few days later, with yogurt in the centre instead of cream, and as I kept them in the fridge, weren't as moist as when freshly made.
