3D Butterfly Birthday Cake

I baked this cake for a friend of mine on her birthday. This is a vanilla flavored cake. I made the 3D butterfly out of fondant. I colored small amounts of fondant in pink, purple and black. I drew a butterfly on a paper and used it as a template to cut the butterfly out of the fondant. I made line on the butterfly with a blunt knife to show the details of the butterfly. I made small circles in black fondant and put this on the butterfly to create some kind of effect. The small flowers I bought and decorated my cakes border. I used cream cheese icing and colored it pink to cover the cake. I used black liquid jell for the butterflies antennas. Unfortunately my butterfly broke, so the 3D effect didn’t come out as I hoped, but at least the 3D butterfly still show a little bit.
