butterfly and matleser

3 tier butterfly cake

The cakes themselves were chocolate with mint buttercream. I smoothed over the cakes themselves with the buttercream before pouring over chocolate ganache that had been cooled down before hand (this is important as you dont want the buttercream to melt, put cake in freezer for added confidence).

The butterflies are fabric ones that I picked up from a craft shop. The spray of maltesers are actually styrafoam balls covered in chocolate with wire put through them (as the maltesers are too heavy).

A few of the maltersers are dusted with some edible lustre to make them stand out a bit.
