Spring Garden
For my MIL's birthday tomorrow. My first time making SMBC and I was really nervous about it! I was going for the contrasting colors of the orange and blues. The butterflies are chocolate. There is a bit of a reflection on the chocolate wings. Oh well! Thanks to everyone who helped me to figure them out! I had inspriation from Frostings with Flair, WBH and Fairytale, but I think I made it my own too.
Beautiful!

can you send me the link for the butterflies, I would like to dublicate the butterflies for my mother in laws cake, very nice job.
Beautiful. it's so perfect.
AWESOME !! I am in awe. I absolutely love the colors and butterflies. How did you get the curve in them??Has to go in my favs.
I made the wings separately then piped a line of chocolate in a med flower former (for the body) and pressed the wings into the body and let them dry so the wings would stand up.
I think that it's quite pretty
It came out really nice. Great job.
this looks amazing be proud
Wow! You are really good! I love this design and the other color varistions of it.
It's a beauty! I love every aspect of it! The color of the flowers is really enhanced against the SMBC. What a gorgeous cake!
This is one of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen!! Would you mind sending me a pm with the link for the butterflies??
I am a huge Marjolein Bastin fan (Nature's Sketchbook) and this cake looks like it could be one of her sketches in 3D! Beautiful work.
I like your cake 8)
Even though you did this a year ago.. it's still stunning..
Absolutely Gorgeous
