Gum paste butterflies
Inspired by some of the designs I see in Flickr and also in a friend’s blog, I decided to try to make my own butterflies from gum paste. Its fairly easy. Just cut out some butterfly shapes. Then create the look you want. I use my piping tips to make tiny holes and also to emboss some decoration. Leave them to dry. (I put them on an egg carton to create the shape of the wings). After that, I brush my butterflies with the pearl dust that I bought earlier. Here’s some pictures. The butterflies are not fully dried yet but being me, I just can’t wait.
Perfect for cupcakes or cakes decoration.
Well, I think that’s enough glitter for today.. you get the idea, right ? Ok, have a nice day to all. See you !
