40Th Birthday Cake With Butterfly

6" rich fruit cake, covered with marzipan and sugarpaste on top of a 9" polystyrene (styrofoam) dummy, also covered with sugarpaste. Butterfly made using the Stephen Benison 'Fantasy Lace Butterfly' set; numbers made with modelling paste which I allowed to thoroughly dry with a piece of spaghetti running through them, which I used to help anchor them to the cake (also used a dab of royal icing!). Many thanks to Lorraine McKay who allowed me to copy her side design. Oh - and I forgot to say that this is MY birthday cake! Probably a bit young for a 40th, but I just fell in love with it... so pretty and girly! :o)
