Butterfly Birthday Cake


This 2 tier french vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream icing was fora birthday girl who loves butterflies. She chose this cake from several others and was very specific about the colors to be used. She has wonderful taste because the delicate pastels were beautiful against the warm shade of the chocolate buttercream. The butterflies are hand piped chocolate with licorice antennae and the dots and banner are fondant.


From the mother of the birthday girl:


"The cake was a "BIG" hit at the party. Everyone loved it and couldn't get over how magnificent it was...
Now for the taste ~
We have never had a better tasting cake and frosting in our entire lives. Even the fondant, which I am not usally fond of, tasted great.
The chocolate butterflies were awesome, as well"
