3Inch Wedding Cakes/bonbonaires
I had to make 100 of each (200 in total...300 butterflies arrrrrgh!) of these cakes for bonbonaires. orignally the bride wanted 2inch sq with mud cakes with one butterfly in the middle, then did the "bride thing" and changed her mind to 3inch, 95 mud, 95 white mud and 10 fruit cakes, two different designs and monograms. They were packaged in clear bonbonaire boxes.....what a pain to package but look really nice..thanks for looking
They are so pretty!! You used a paper punch?? Like for scrapbooking???
wow you must have the patiece of a saint!
WOW! Lots of work; they are perfectly beautiful! :D
beautiful..
great job...they are beautiful :)
" You used a paper punch?? Like for scrapbooking???"....yep just roll your gumpaste really thin then dry in folded card.
Packaging! What about the decorating.....Geez I can't even imagine how tired you are.
Very nice, did you charge her extra for changing her mind?
I am amazed! They look beautiful!
those are AWESOME!! but, jimminy christmas! I did 15 and that was almost too many!
Wow, they're so perfect!! Did you use a mold to make the butterflies??
Well done, you've got patience............. I would have gone batty!!
They are so adorable, really nice looking, you did a fantastic job.
I used a cutter for the large butterflies and a paper punch for the small ones, I made a viener from a butterfliy windchime, worked great....by the time I had finished the cakes I think I had gone batty!!
Beautiful little cakes !! what a lot of work :D

I made a viener from a butterfliy windchime, worked great.
you can buy vieners for butterflies but they are really expensive
Wow they look great, Bet she loved the finnished cakes.
They are lovely but my hands hurt thinking of all that work!
what a great idea, how did you make the cakes, in small tins or a large one and cut up into squares?
