Butterfly and Daisy Cake



I made the butterflies from edible rice paper and are coloured with edible food colours and glazed with a thin layer of piping gel, then edible glitter. The bodies are black fondant.

Inside is a rich fruit cake, covered with a layer of marzipan then a layer of black fondant.

The flowers are orange fondant which I left to harden so they stayed flat when hanging off the top off the cake, I wanted a more 3D effect.

I hand made fondant beads instead of piping around the bottom, these give a more bold finish.
