I have found a butterfly that the bride and I have fallen love with. Trouble is it's made from a stamper onto paper. Wondering how to achieve a delicate butterfly and which medium to use, . Thinking:
* Printed onto rice paper - Then I'll be able to fold them and print different shapes (Not even sure if you can print edible ink on rice paper?)
*Piped candy melts onto wax paper.
Wishing I had it in silicone molds. lol
I LOVE the isomalt butterflies! They are gorgeous. If you want to know more, just PM me.
You can print regular ink on rice paper but of course, it would not be edible.
There are a number of very nice cutters and molds available. With the cutters you can use a VERY thin gumpaste and achieve a very nice, natural look.

I made this butterfly by forcing MMF through a clay extruder. I printed out a photo of a buttefly I liked, placed a piece of wax paper over the photo, and then just placed the fondant strings over the wax paper. I put the finished product into the freezer for about 10 minutes, then quickly dusted with gold pearl dust and quickly placed it on the cake while it was still solid from the freezer.
Can you use the food gels, diluted with vodka and dip the stamper in it and stamp it on fondant?
I hope this helps
i made very delicate looking butterflies for my sunflower pot cake using gleatin and molds. they turned out great, simple and easy to work with. hth
Your gelatin butterflies are beautiful. I wonder if you could pour the gelatin over the ink stamper and use it as a mold?
I love the gelatin butterflies. They look delicate but hold up well. There are gearing sheets that already have the butterfly outline and veining or you can just cut the wings out.
I draw my butterflies on wafer paper. Here is the tutorial.
