Edible butterflies
I just wanted to share the excitement I felt when I finally had a go at making gelatine butterflies. I wanted to practice them before the wedding cake I have to do in March and was concerned that they wouldn't hold up in humidity or that they would look cheap and nasty and plastic. I was very pleased with the results, and so was the bride to be when I emailed her a pic too.

Fran I bought some butterfly veining sheets from cake connection in the States.
Then using gelatine that has been heated so it becomes a liquid you use a soft brush and paint it onto the sheets; leave it to dry and then take it off the sheet, cut around the edge with scissors to neaten the wings, add a fondant body , some disco dust and voila! a transparent edible butterfly!
If you would like to see a video of this activity go to http://www.cakeconnection.com/gelatin_art.php You can aso make flowers with it!

Yes they're easy to use. If you go to the cake connection website it has a video on how to use the sheets - they're demonstrating flowers - but the principle's the same. My advice to to take some time and have a play with it, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it came out.
