Hi zuckerblumen and wrightway! The butterflies were made of fondant with a blue silicon mold. I don't recall the brand. The butterflies were then handpainted with petal dust and extract. My favorite butterfly on the cake was a zebra butterfly -you can see the tip of it's wing on the far left of the cake. The color of the fondant on the tiers was a mixture of avacado green and sky blue. I hope this helps. Thanks to everyone for the gracious comments!
