How To Make Color Flow Butterfly Body?
Decorating By cindycakes2 Updated 6 Mar 2007 , 6:35pm by SILVERCAT
I have a student in class that does not want the color flow birds in the Wilton Course II, but wants to do the butterfly from the older lesson book. She brought me the pattern but it only has the wings...has anyone made this and if so can you tell me how to do the body? In the pic it looks like the wings are tipped up and flying, not flat. Thanks for any help!
I just made some in chocolate with help from here and they really rock! So what I would do would be to do the wings each separately. Then when they are fully dry I would tape some waxed paper into the bottom of a flower former (i used the medium size, but depends on how big your butterfly is) and then pipe some medium or stiff royal into the bottom (like body size) and then sort of set the wings on the side. ( When I did this with chocolate it made a nice looking body. I had planned to add a body on top, but it looked better the way it was.) Then let completely dry.
