Butterfly Gift Cake

How did you get the loops to stay round as it dries. It is beautiful!!

thecakemaker on 9 Feb 2005 , 5:50pm

Thank you! I set them up on their sides for this cake ~ when I made the 23 wedding cakes I used poly. pipe and hung the loops over it until they dried.

cakemommy on 9 Feb 2005 , 5:57pm

Very delicate!

m0use on 9 Feb 2005 , 5:59pm

That is sooo cute! You could also use it for a baby shower.

thecakemaker on 9 Feb 2005 , 6:02pm

Baby shower, wedding shower... I was glad the category was "celebration cake" because it is so versatile!

Cynch on 9 Feb 2005 , 6:05pm

the bows must made of gumpaste and not fondant right? I love how the loops stay in place! Very neat!

thecakemaker on 9 Feb 2005 , 6:11pm

no, they were 100% fondant. So was the butterfly and side decorations. I used a 50/50 fondant/gumpaste mixture when I made the wedding cake bows because these were so fragile though. The 100% fondant wouldn't have worked if they'd been thinner.

What size cake is this? Just so I can have a clearer picture on the size of that BEAUTIFUL bow.

thecakemaker on 19 Apr 2005 , 11:38am

Thank you! It was an 8" square.

A beautiful cake!!! How or what did you use for the butterfly??

thecakemaker on 15 Apr 2005 , 5:23pm

Thanks! It was fondant. Emboss the fondant and cut out the wing shape then after the wings dry pipe the body using royal icing or chocolate.

Just stunning! Your bow is just so perfect! I can only hope to get this good!!

thecakemaker on 15 Apr 2005 , 5:53pm

Thank you! That was my first ever bow! I'm sure you can do it too!

very, very nice, how did you get the butterfly wings to go upward? and the royal icing detail is so gorgeous.

thecakemaker on 8 Nov 2005 , 4:18pm

Thank you! The butterfly is actually molded fondant that was dried and i placed them into a piped royal icing body on card stock that was folded into a "v" to hold the wings up until the royal icing dried.

Sandrine on 2 Dec 2005 , 1:24am

This is the most gorgeous cake I have ever seen !!! It goes into my favorite album and I hope I will be able to get as good as you are some day. I want to do something great for my daughter's first birthday and I think I found it.
