Hand Painted Something Blue Butterfly Cake Decoration (2 Dozen)*
Tradition hides the blue in a garter. These hand-painted, something blue butterfly cake decorations are a wonderful way to add a vibrant splash of color to your cake instead, where every guest in the room sees it and every photographer shoots it. The beauty of the mixed multitude of fluttering wings will create a sense of kinetic energy of movement and life that will enhance the decorative beauty of the dessert. This will make it look as if the flying flock is about to whimsically lift the cake into the air and bear it directly to the waiting guests.
The collection of butterflies consists of a mixture of variably hued creatures, with a range of light and dark blue tones intermixed to create an attractive visual display. They also vary in size, simulating the fluttering flight of a real flock of these delightful creatures. Some of them even have sparkling crystals to catch and reflect the light around them, making the display exquisitely decorative.
Each of the tiny feather butterflies is hand-painted, making them all a unique expression of hand touched art. They measure approximately 2"-4" in diameter, and they are sold in packages of 24 pieces, giving you plenty of fluttering friends for any sized cake decoration. Two dozen is enough to work a tiered cake properly: a dense cluster low on one side, the flock thinning as it climbs, one or two landing on the table as though they arrived late.
While these butterflies are perfect for a wedding reception cake, they can really be used in almost any application and are fully reusable if you care for them each time. They are perfect for a birthday, sweet sixteen, or even just a garden party where you want to impress your friends with your clever decorations. Keep them after the cake is cut and the same flock can trim a shower dessert table, a spring centerpiece or a christening cake the following year.
HansonEllis has been supplying wedding and party details like these since 1999. Choose your quantity, count one package of 24 for each cake you are dressing, and give the dessert table the movement it has been missing.

Which one should I choose
Cake decor usually comes down to fresh flowers, sugar work or something you keep. Here is where the hand-painted butterflies sit.
| Hand Painted Something Blue Butterfly Cake Decoration | Choose it when the cake needs color, movement and a something blue that shows: 24 hand-painted feather butterflies, 2"-4", reusable afterwards. |
|---|---|
| Fresh flowers on the cake | Choose them when the florist is already on site; they cannot be kept, and they will not carry the blue tradition the way these do. |
| Piped or fondant sugar decorations | Choose them when the baker is doing everything; they are eaten with the cake and nothing survives the reception. |
If you want the cake to look alive in the photographs and still own the decorations a year later, the hand-painted butterflies are the pick.
