    Cut round cake in half. Place cut sides against sides of square cake to form heart shape, attaching pieces with small amount of frosting.

    Spread frosting on cake. Make flowers with assorted gumdrops: Flatten gumdrops with rolling pin. Cut out small petal-shaped flowers. Pinch flower in center to make it 3-dimensional. Cut out gumdrop leaves and stems. Arrange gumdrop flowers on cake. Arrange candied orange slices to form butterfly wings and butterfly body. Store loosely covered.

  • Keep extra sugar handy when working with gumdrops to use if they get sticky.
