Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray bottoms and sides of two 8- or 9-inch round pans. Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds. Wrap and freeze 1 layer for later use. Freeze remaining layer 45 minutes before cutting to reduce crumbs.
- Cut off rounded top of cake to make flat surface; place cake cut side down. Cut cake in half crosswise; cut each half into 1/3 and 2/3 pieces (as shown in diagram). Place cake pieces on platter to form butterfly. Gently separate cake pieces to form wings.
- Reserve 1/2 cup frosting; set aside. Spread top and sides of cake with thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Refrigerate or freeze 30 to 60 minutes to set frosting. Frost cake with remaining frosting. Place candy stick between cake pieces for butterfly body.
- Stir food color into reserved frosting until well blended. Spread over cake in desired pattern on wings. Outline wing patterns with gel. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Place jelly beans on corners of wings. Decorate butterfly with candy decorations. Store loosely covered.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Combine the granulated sugar, butter and orange zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through with a spatula.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk in 2 batches; mix until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half and flatten each portion into a disk. Place each disk into a separate resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate the dough until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out both pieces of dough until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Using 2 different sized butterfly cookie cutters (2-inch and 3-inch), cut out as many cookies as you can. Use the 2-inch cutter on one portion of dough and the 3-inch cutter on the other portion of dough. Be sure to dip the cutters in flour every other cookie or so while you are cutting them out to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Transfer as many of the cookies as will fit onto the prepared baking sheets and bake until they're just set but not browned, about 7 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to racks to cool completely before decorating. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- For the icing: Combine the powdered sugar, milk and egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until thick and glossy. Add more powdered sugar if the icing seems too thin. Add more milk if it is too thick. You may need to play with it until it is just right. The icing should be loose enough to stick to the cookies in an even layer, but not too loose to slide off.
- For decorating: Divide the icing among 3 or 4 smaller bowls. Add 2 to 3 drops each of red and orange food coloring to each bowl, scattering it over the surface of the icing. Drag a toothpick through the drops a few times to make swirls.
- Dip the top of each cookie in the icing and let the excess drip off over the bowl. Transfer the dipped cookies to a rack and allow to dry completely. When the colors in the first bowl of icing become too muddled, move on to the next bowl of icing and so forth until all the cookies are iced. Let the icing dry completely, about 1 hour.

- For wings, spread top of one cake layer with 1/2 cup of the frosting; top with second cake layer. Cut stacked cake in half crosswise, making two half-circles.

Frost tops and sides of wings with tinted frosting. Decorate wings with candies and/or marshmallows.

- Divide Creamy White Frosting evenly among three medium bowls. Add a toothpick tip's worth of pink gel food coloring to frosting in one bowl; stir until frosting is evenly tinted. Repeat with the remaining two bowls of frosting, tinting one with sky blue food coloring and the other with lemon yellow food coloring.
- Place a decorating bag fitted with a large open star tip (such as Wilton brand #1M) into a tall wide-mouth container (this holds the decorating bag in place while you fill it with frosting). Using a long metal spatula, scoop up the pink frosting and carefully transfer it to the decorating bag, spreading the frosting from bottom to top in a strip that covers about one-third of the inside of the bag. Wash and thoroughly dry the metal spatula. Repeat with the blue frosting and then the yellow frosting, being careful not to mix the colors. (The decorating bag will have three strips of frosting side by side. These colors complement each other so if they run together some, they'll form a pretty rainbow.) Pipe the frosting onto a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper just until all three colors start to pipe, giving the rainbow effect.
- To pipe a rainbow rosette, hold the decorating bag perpendicular to cupcake top with the decorating tip barely touching the center of the cupcake. Pipe swirls of frosting onto cupcake, moving decorating tip in a counterclockwise motion from the center to the outer edge. Repeat to pipe rosettes on all remaining cupcakes.
- For the face, roll the pink fondant according to package directions to a 3-inch-diameter circle. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out a circle; place the circle on top of one of the frosted 2-1/2-inch cupcakes, pressing gently into frosting. Divide the black fondant into five pieces. Roll each of the pieces between your fingers into a ball. For the antennae, attach a black fondant ball to two of the wooden toothpicks. Position the antennae at the top of the face, gently pushing toothpicks into the cupcake. For eyes, position two more of the black fondant balls on the face (slightly moisten the underside of each eye so it will stick to the face). For the mouth, roll the remaining black fondant ball between your fingers into a thin rope; slightly moisten the underside of the rope and position it on the face.
