Monarch Butterfly Valentine Heart Cup Cakes

Monarch Butterfly Valentine Heart Cup Cakes on Cake Central

My dtr asked me to do something for her school vday party, so I started on some cup cakes. The first ones were fondant butterfly's, then my rice paper came in the mail the next day, so I made these ones. The butterfly's are drawn on rice paper using edible food markers. They came out MUCH better than I had hoped for. MMF hearts used for a base since there was no liner to separate the cupcakes (and I didn't want them sliding into each other). Thank you for all the feedback while I was designing these!

Thanks. It was pretty funny. I made snowmen cookies at christmas, so the kids told my dtr when they were planning this party "Your mom makes awesome treats, can she make something P-L-E-A-S-E.... LOL. So I guess I've been exposed as the pastry mom.

Thanks. I was hesitant w/the mint green too, but it blended well. I was going to frost them smooth, but when I went to put the frosting on, it looked good that way (I just used a bag w/the end snipped off-no tip). So I did them all that way.

Thanks. I actually ordered the rice paper online. I got way more than I'll probably ever be able to use, but it was worth it to be able to practice on these. I'm planning on using a few on my dtr's upcoming bday cake this month too.

Thanks. I'm loving the way they are coming out on my current ones (with both sides of the wings colored). I'll be using those on my older dtr's "Tink" cake next month.
