Flitter

I am enrolled in a Wilton decorating class and this is the first cake I created. I started with 2 9" white cakes and cut them in halves to make four layers. each was filled with almond/coconut buttercream frosting with the center layer mixed with a little rasberry jam. i used the icing tip to first apply the buttercream to the outside and then smoothed (took the longest time). I then used a cookie cutter to mark my butterflies and filled them in with the star tip. I used the 12 tip to add the dots and the star again to finish off the bottom. I used a 2 tip to add the antenas and the trails.
