Butterfly Life Cycle For 2005 Arizona Annual Cake And Sugar Arts Show

Butterfly Life Cycle For 2005 Arizona Annual Cake And Sugar Arts Show on Cake Central

The theme of the show was "New Beginnings". My cake represented the life cycle as a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. There were 5 size stages of caterpillars shown, as well as the crysalis and butterflies on top. The butterflies were made following directions on this site. I hand-modeled the caterpillars and colored them with a combination of pens and gel colors. The leaves were made with marbelized fondant.

unfortunately, I didn't place (I was in the amateur category). I was marked down because of the use of fondant on top and BC on bottom - my solution to last-minute troubles with the BC not smoothing on top! Also they thought the white bottom didn't go with the grass and leaves...oh well :-(
