My youngest niece turns 5 tomorrow. Can't believe it. When brainstorming ideas for her cake we came up with butterflies. Specifically monarch butterflies because they hatched one from a caterpiller this summer and because the monarch has the same coloring as Halloween. Then to top it off she likes polka dots so I found a way to incorporate all three things into one cake.
They aren't exactly butterflies but as lillies said "They are halloween butterflies"...
BEFORE- Drying Butterflies
After... They collapsed and the wings broke off... Opps. Guess the extra black fondant was too heavy and the thin orange fondant underneath couldn't support it. Lesson learned. When I put them on the cake I pushed the edges of the wings into the icing. It worked...
I made cookies for Lindsey to take into class.
Here they are all bagged up and ready to go...
Everyone dressed up for the party...
