Musings and Butterfly Cupcakes

These little butterfly cupcakes were one of my favorites when I was little easy to make and they really do look like butterflies. I added a little tea to the butter icing and decorated with licorice. I also like them as years ago as a student one of my neighbors said I was like a butterfly.
