Hi everyone! First of all, I would like to say that this site is great. As a newbie to baking, this site has helped a great deal. But on to my situation. My youngest daughter's 1st birthday is at the end of September and we are doing it in a ladybug's theme. I was wondering if any of you great bakers out there would have a great recipe for a ladybug cake you would like to share. I have just started out trying to bake (everything has been edible, so far) so simple is better. Thanks in advance.

I used to make a bundt cake recipe that was a yellow cake and then you poked holes in the batter and poured in strawberry or raspberry jello (dry mix) and then when it cooked it had red stripes or swirls throughout and was kinda a gel-type consistency. I've never tried it on anything other than a bundt cake. Wonder if it would work on a "regular" cake?
Might be cute to make a half-ball on top of a regular sheet cake. Frost the ball red, like a ladybug. You could use black licorace for the antennae and legs. Decorate the sheet cake with green grass and flowers.
Thank you so much for the input. Ladybugs are so cute. Are you wanting something different than the ladybug pan?

There are a lot of really cute ladybug cake pictures there. (I LOVE the first one). Sorry i'm not coming up with anything on my own, its late and my brain isn't functioning.[/url]
LOL I know its late, my brain isn't working that great either. Thanks for the info. I will look at that now. 
A ladybug is pretty easy to draw. Here's one I did. It whipped up fast!
