You could do a search in the galleries for butterflies. Maybe something would inspire you. There are pictures of butterflies made with fondant, gum paste, edible paper, you name it.

Fondant, gumpaste, chocolate, candy melts, the list goes on and on.

What "type" of butterflies are we talking about? Cute? Realistic? This would probably help determine what you should use.

There is an article "How To Make Realistic Edible Butterflies" in the tutorial articles section. They are very easy to follow and the butterflies come out beautiful. However, since you will need quite a few to cover the top of a cake, you can purchase ready made butterflies at sugarcraft.com.

Thank you everyone for the information. I knew I was asking the right group of people. You all help me so much when I need information. I will post a picture of the cake after I do it.
