Tabbee, the letters are royal icing. I printed out her name in that font, then traced over it onto parchment paper. Applied to the cake with more RI, then I 'washed' it with pink luster dust and everclear.
I bought the butterflies at my local cake supply store. They print them out 12 to a page with edible inks, on rice paper. Then I just brought them home, cut them out, brushed them with piping gel and let them dry on a piece of parchment paper inside a flower form. Which, in my case, is an empty paper towel tube, cut in half lengthwise ;-) Thank you all for the compliments.

This is sooooo lovely! Wonderful job on your butterflies too.
The butterflies are gorgeous. The whole cake is gorgeous. But I'm skipping right to the letters. Are those fondant cutouts?
