How to Make a Lady Bug Cake

Bake a sheet cake the size you will need. Using the picture as a guide and an icing filled bag with round tip size #5, draw a lady bug on the cake. Cut out the outline of the lady bug.

Using a star tip size #18, fill in the spots and the head with dark chocolate icing.


Then fill in the body with red icing using the same tip. Finally, draw a line down the middle of the body with dark chocolate icing and round tip #5.

Or...if you like this lady bug cake better:

Bake the cake using a ball cake pan or you can also use an oven proof bowl. The head is a cupcake with the edge cut to fit the body. Next cut the tips of the wings.

Using the star tip size #16, fill in the spots and cover the head with dark chocolate icing. Next, fill in the body with red icing and the same size star tip #16. Finally, draw the line down the center of the body with dark chocolate icing and round tip #5.

You can also use a lady bug cake pan to make your cake in. Then all you have to do is decorate it and you don't have to worry about cutting out the shape of the lady bug yourself.
