Instructions
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Add the eggs, orange peel and extract; beat until combined.
Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Spoon into two greased 9-in. heart-shaped baking pans; spread evenly in pans.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Cut 1-1/2 in. off the pointed ends of each heart cake; set aside. For the butterfly wings, place the cut ends of the heart cakes together on a 17-in. x 15-in. covered board. Trim reserved cake pieces to form the rounded ends of the butterfly's body.
In a small bowl, cream butter and cream cheese.
Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla.
Remove 1/2 cup frosting and tint yellow; set aside. Frost cake sides and top with white frosting.
Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #6 round tip. Fill bag with remaining white frosting; set aside.
Frost a portion of each wing with yellow frosting. Decorate butterfly's body and wings with colored sugars. Pipe white frosting to separate colored sections on wings to outline the body. Decorate the wings with gumdrops.
Using a citrus stripper, cut two 12-in. long pieces of orange peel. Wrap around the handle of a wooden spoon.
Remove from spoon and place above the body for antennae.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are great choices for Cake. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
