I just received a message in my e-mail , requesting a Cake for a little Girl Turning One . The Mom wants a Cake to serve 25 plus a little smash Cake .
I'm stuck on ideas at the moment , thought that you guys could help me out .
The little girl's nursery is decorated in butterflies (that's all i got for the mother)
SCARY! SCARY!SCARY!
HOW ABOUT SOMETHING CUTE NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE THE KID SLEEPING WITH YOU FOR A WEEK!
In my photos, I did a big number one carved out of a 12"x18" pan. It wasn't anything elaborate, and it was the first serious cake I ever made. But it worked!
Do a search for butterflies.
I thought this one was adorable. You could do a little 4" one for the top as a smash:

The possibilities are endless...
Thank you so very much for all your great ideas .
I just got another email .. about the colors that she would like and how she would like it to be decorated . The colors are two or three different shades of Pink with Lime Green as accent all made with Buttercream (no fondant ). oh! BTW I need to get this done by the 11th ...delivery is on the 12th.
The think tank is empty ... Can you help me refuel it ..LOL .
Thank you again

I hope that works, i'm terrible at this stuff. you could use any colors you wanted to make the butterflies
Here's a cake I have saved in my favorites. It's iced in buttercream with small fondant accents.

We've done the lady bug/butterfly/flower theme a few times at my house.
You can change the main buttercream color if you want and even change the ladybug to pink. A little ladybug also makes an adorable smash cake.
Good luck!
I would do a cake in the shape of a 1 with butterflies on it. Shaped cakes always seem to catch the eye more, even if it's just a simple number. I did one that just had frosting ballons on it (in my photos) and it was a super easy shape to make and frost.
What about the Hugs and Stitches cakes that are so popular? They are usually pink/green/yellow and other pastels with butterflies.
Here's a couple done all in BC.

Can you do fondant accents? Here's some done in fondant, that you could ice in BC and use fondant accents.

HTH!
missmeg tht is absolutely adorable! the colors are so pretty too.
Awww, thanks 
. That was literally the FIRST cake I did post-Wilton Course I. My dd's first birthday was actually the reason I took Course I. I'd always loved baking, and with her first b-day approaching, I wanted to do something I'd never done before. So I took Course I in July, and her birthday party was the week after the course ended.
The color scheme came from the plates/napkins we were using for the party.
Of course I look at it now and see (1) a hundred things wrong with the cake, and (2) a hundred different other ways I could have used that butterfly theme in a cake.
I've come a long way in 5 years I guess 
.
I know I'm probably a little late, but this was a baby shower cake I did, but it matches your theme and colors. This one was covered in mmf, but you could do buttercream too. Good luck!
