Prepare the cake batter according to the box or your favorite cake recipe. Preheat the oven according to the cake recipe.

Spray nonstick spray into one cupcake holder and the large bowl.

Pour some of the cake mix into one hole in a cupcake tin. Pour the rest of the cake mix into the bowl.

Bake the cake according to the directions. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. Bake the cake longer if the cake batter sticks to the toothpick. Let the cake cool.

Turn the bowl over onto the cake platter, allowing the flat part of the cake to sit on the platter.

Remove the cupcake from the holder. Place it on the cake platter at one end of the bowl cake for the ladybug's head.

Spread frosting over the entire cake. Smooth the frosting with a spatula.

Place a piece of black licorice down the middle of the ladybug's body to create wings. Use black licorice to make a smiley mouth on the ladybug's head, and insert the licorice into the ladybug's head to make two antennae.

Add Junior Mints to the ladybug's body to make spots. Place a mint on the ladybug's head to create a nose.

Place two white chocolate pieces on the ladybug's head for its eyes. Use icing to attach two chocolate chips to make its pupils.

Store the cake in the refrigerator. Lightly cover it with aluminum foil or place it into a cake box.
