This was for the daughter of a close friend. It was my first attempt at butterflys.

Thank you for the compliments. The roses and leaves are fondant and the leaves were dusted with luster dust. I've wanted for years to make lifelike roses. I think I've finally got it! :)

Thank you, stepintolife. The butterflies were royal icing that was traced from one of Wiltons older wedding cake books that has patterns in the back. If you draw or find a nice design, just lay wax paper over it and pipe each wing separately. Make many as they may break. I used fondant for the body.
