Hand Painted Garden Green Butterfly Cake Decoration (2 Dozen)*
The best cake decorations are dimensional items, things that seem real, solid, which jump out of the surface of the cake, creating a scene that is bursting with vibrant life. Here we see a perfect example of that in the hand-painted garden green butterfly cake decorations, a collection of charming little fluttering forms that can add color and whimsy to your next culinary concoction.
These tiny green fluttering butterflies come in a variety of green shades and tones. It creates a colorful spectacle of beauty and wonder, which can add a magical touch to your next dessert. Attractive and versatile, these pieces can be stuck into the surface of a cake to create various patterns or even to make your own poised butterfly scene, a tiny work of art upon a deliciously edible platform. Twenty-four of them come in a single collection, which is enough to trail across the tiers of a wedding cake, scatter over a sheet cake for a garden party, or share out among a row of cupcakes with one butterfly resting on each.
Each of the tiny butterflies is made from very soft feather material, which is worked into the winged shape. Each piece is then meticulously hand-painted with features and colors being guided onto the feather surface with an amazing amount of skill and precision. They come in varying shades and hues, mirroring the variety found in nature, and while the size of the butterflies varies, they are roughly 2"-4" in diameter each. Because every wing is painted by hand, no two are quite the same, which is exactly why a group of them reads as a living swarm instead of a row of matching ornaments.
One interesting cake idea is to pair them with a more traditional centerpiece cake topper such as the porcelain love bird's cake toppers or the white dove porcelain cake topper. This allows you to contrast white on color while also creating an aerial theme for the dessert. You can also mix and match them with other colored butterflies, such as the hand-painted blue butterfly cake collection or the hand-painted romantic pink butterfly cake collection in order to create contrasting color effects, either in a single cake or across multiple pieces.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers decorating a cake usually choose between the butterfly collections and a single centerpiece topper, and quite often take both.
| Hand Painted Garden Green Butterfly Cake Decoration (2 Dozen) | Choose it for a garden or spring theme where you want movement across the whole cake: 24 butterflies in green shades you can arrange in any pattern. |
|---|---|
| Hand-painted blue butterfly cake collection | Choose blue for a cooler palette, or add it to the green for a contrasting color effect on one cake. |
| Hand-painted romantic pink butterfly cake collection | Choose pink for a softer, more romantic table, or mix it with green across multiple pieces. |
| Porcelain love bird's cake topper or white dove porcelain cake topper | Choose a topper when the cake needs one traditional centerpiece; the butterflies then work around it, contrasting white on color. |
For a cake that looks alive rather than merely decorated, start with the 24 garden green butterflies and add a porcelain topper as the centerpiece.
