Patriotic Butterfly Basket Cake

Patriotic Butterfly Basket Cake on Cake Central

I wanted to do something fun for the 4th, so I made this cake for my husband to take to his office. They have not cut it yet, so I don't have any photos of the inside yet. the cake layers are red, white and blue as well. Everything is edible. The butterfly's are rice paper and royal icing bodies. Royal icing flowers.

Thanks. My husband actually emailed me that the guys were all checking it out, but nobody wants to cut it. I guess that means I did a good job :)

Thanks. It was frustrating doing the border actually since the 21 was a tad big (bottom row) and the 18 was smaller than I would've liked. I feel like there needs to be a size inbetween that.....
