first up was this butterfly cake...the birthday girl decided, just the week before, what design she wanted...not in enough time for me to get rice paper (edible) to make butterfly wings...i usually use royal icing, the rice paper & food color gels to make edible butterflies...instead, i found these feather ones at Michael's...
they're on wire, so inserting them into the cake gave the feel that they were really fluttering around it...i love how this cake turned out & i might try to talk more future folks into letting me use these butterflies instead of the edible ones! ;0)

the cake was 2 tiers of confetti cake...all iced in buttercream...i gave each tier a border of buttercream grass, & accented the cake with flowers i made from fondant----------
i also made a castle cake for Miss Carley this weekend...
she wanted 2 tiers of marble cake...i iced it all in buttercream (u can't tell very well, but i gave the buttercream walls a cobblestone texture too - click on the pic to enlarge)...then i added cardboard tubes & inverted sugar cones (all covered in fondant) to make the towers...the grass & vines are piped from buttercream, & the door/windows & tiny flowers are made from fondantthx for looking!
