Butterflies on Cake Central

I absolutely loved ellyrae's butterfly cake. All of her cakes are stunning! So, obviously she inspired this cake! The butterflies are rice paper with edible ink markers and royal icing bodies. The cakes are covered in MMF and painted with thinned gel paste. The rocks are also MMF. I didn't match my colors as well as she did - But I hope I did her justice!!

Thanks guys! A friend of mine saw the saved pic I had of ellrae's and asked if I could do that to add it to her prize list for a raffle for Relay of Life. I really enjoyed making this cake. It's the first time I painted on fondant. I really liked that!!!
