I made this cake for my nieces princess slumber party and butterflies were the main theme.
I used a wilton butterfly tin for the shape.
Butter cream was used for the purple and the pink using food colour to get the different colours.
Royal icing was used for the black and the orange. I used orange pipecleaners for the antannaes.
Wrapping paper was used to decorate to board the cake is put on.
Use a wilton star shaped piping tube for the decorations.
If you don’t have orange food colour, just mix red and yellow to get the orange. Using more or less of red or yellow will alter the shade of orange, so play around wirh your colours. Be creative and you won’t go wrong.
Another alternative to butter cream icing is rtr icing, this gives the cake a smooth and professional look. RTR icing can be purchased from any cake supplies shop. Bit keep in mind rtr icing needs to be kneeded and rolled so butter cream icing is easier to use and children and alot of adults too tend to like butter cream icing more than rtr icing.
