The scales on this look amazing!  I've been trying to find a way to make realistic scales with buttercream instead of fondant for a while now.  How did you make them?  It almost looks like a petal tip?  Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you! I used a large round tip, piped out round mounds and flattened out part of them with a cake spatula. Hope this helps!
