Tree Trunk Groom's Cake

Tree Trunk Groom's Cake on Cake Central

This was the groom's cake I did for my SIL's wedding. But could also be for a shower I suppose. I was trying to copy a cake I saw online and this was my first attempt. I had trouble with airbrushing the tree rings due to my airbrush pen breaking. The actually should be smaller around, but Oh well. Hope you like it

Normally yes, and they look just like this. This particular cake I was in a hurry so I just bought these. But yes, normally the butterflies are scans and printed onto rice paper with icing bodies.

has anyone actually tried the rice paper??? I have heard others say that they use it for edible images on cakes, I was just wondering how that works?? does it disappear into the cake, is it easy to cut through??
