Had fun, this is based off of a fondant cake but is all buttercream. The butterflies are gumpaste with royal icing piping for the design and the bodies. I used a corsage pin poked through the gumpaste with the royal bodies piped on top to use as anchors to place on the side of the cake. It worked perfectly. I didn't need any mounds of icing to hold the butterflies. bottom tier grass is color mixed with vodka hand painted on to the cake.
