I have a wedding cake that has a cascade of yellow roses, white stephonitis and blue hydrangas and blue morning glories we tossed around the idea of a few butterflies on wires..... so... gumpaste ??? or the easy way and use those silk ones that look so real. They left it up to me. I am thinking a pair on the top teir and several placed in the flowers.
Has anyone use the gumpaste molds for a butterfly?
and I also have never made gumpaste morning glories...oops... only royal icing ones... guess I had better go to Walmart and get some fake ones to copy.
but these butterflies have me stumped
If you have an edible image printer, or know of someone near you who owns one you can print out beautiful images of real butterflies, cut out rolled gumpaste to the same shape, let it dry completely and attach the images, then lay a wire on the back of the gumpaste and attach by gum glue with a fresh strip of gumpaste over the wire.

Thats a great idea...that way you get the look especially if you cant paint. i suck at painting. ill keep that idea in mind.
