April Birthday Cake on Cake Central

Buttercream cake with buttercream roses and other fondant flowers. Fondant with gumtex butterfly with silver wire antennae that will have to be removed. Silver dragees used on butterfly and for flower centers.

Forgot to say, the ribbon is made with fondant also and ribbed design made with ribbed rolling pin. See I lost a dragee on the butterfly!

Thanks guys. I tried using that Wilton spray color but it was pretty much a disaster. Ended up going over it with a knife and paper towel and ended up with that light lavender mottled effect. I'd used parchment paper to protect the center and when I went to pull it up; the buttercream stuck to it. :-( So wasn't a smooth-sailing decorating job; but that's the way it goes sometimes! :-)
