I used two 9 inch round cakes for the body and a small baking dish for the head of the ladybug cake. These were carved down to make the rounded shape.
For the frosting I used a basic powdered sugar recipe and made it purple with food coloring. For the markings, I just added more coloring to make the frosting a darker shade of purple and piped it on. Two purple suckers made perfect antennas, and a little green tinted coconut for grass.
