I was looking at the Sugarcraft website and noticed they are selling the wafer paper butterflies.I don't have a edible ink printer yet so these might come in handy to all you others in the same boat.Also for the not so artistic of us out there.They are charging $3 for a sheet{14-18 on a sheet}.I thought that price was pretty good.I'm not sure what they charge to ship though.Also they seem to be reasonable on their cake boards as well.I know the Wilton packs can get to be expensive if they aren't on sale.Just thought I would share. icon_smile.gif

I'm doing my second batch of butterfly's right now and had some printed at a shop that does them here locally. The shiny side of the rice paper does not hold the image really well, so I started "gluing" two of the images together to make the color on both sides. When those dry inside and out, I'll turn them over and coat the other side with the cake jell. So far, they are turning out really nicely, and much better than I could have done by hand. Of course, I pd $5 per sheet. The monarch butterfly's I got about 20 on a sheet, but for the larger blue ones and yellow ones, there were only 4-6 per sheet.
