I was so happy when I was asked to make a cake with flowers, butterflies and the color pink. What a classic combination, and a great opportunity to practice making sugar flowers. Cake is french vanilla with strawberry buttercream. Flowers and butterflies are made out of gumpaste.

Breathtaking! What size are the tiers and how many did the cake feed? Would love to know if you are willing.

7"/6"/5", about 38 servings. This was my first time making a cake with only 1" difference between all tiers. I'm happy with the look!
