I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

1 Heat oven to 350°. Grease bottoms only of 2 round pans, 8 or 9 x 1 1/2 inches, with shortening. Make cake mix as directed on package, using water, oil and eggs. Pour into pans. Bake cake
as directed on package. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
2 Cut each cake layer as shown in diagram. Freeze pieces uncovered about 1 hour for easier frosting if desired. For each cake, cover large flat tray or piece of cardboard with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil. Arrange cake pieces on tray to form butterfly as shown in diagram. Frost cake with 1 tub frosting, attaching pieces with small amount of frosting. Repeat with second cake layer
and remaining tub frosting.
3 Sprinkle colored sugars over butterflies. Outline wings and bodies with decorating gel. Decorate wings with assorted candies as desired. Roll fruit snack into antennae. Store loosely covered at
room temperature.

High Altitude (3500 to 6500 feet): Do not use 8-inch rounds. Make cake mix following high-altitude directions on package for 9-inch rounds.
