Butterfly

Sorry about the mess in the back. We were on a time crunch. Anywho, this is our butterfly cake. We made the butterflies out of gumpaste. We cut them out with a cookie cutter (that I found in the clay modeling section of the store) and hung them hanging half way over the edge of a box in the center to get their wings to dry shaped. Then we painted them with lusterdust and piped royal icing on them. Food coloring pens would work great too if your going for a more graphic look.

Hope this is on time. Havnt checked the blog in a while. I thought this would be a cute rice crispy idea for a baby shower.

Buttercream gift cake

Not sure why my pictures are so grainy. Oh well. Here is a buttercream gift box cake that I did for my friend who just had a baby boy. It was actually really easy. The accents are gumpaste and royal icing. I used Ednas UTube tutorial for the bow. Its really easy too. You just have to roll it really thin to get the right look. I may have rolled it a little to thin for the bow but oh well. The easiest part was the lid. Viva paper towels rock by the way. Definatlty a mirical worker. Spelling is terrible I know. Its almost midnight. Heres a link to the web artical that I found for the Buttercream gift box instructions.
