These beautiful butterflies can add a touch of color and contrast, whimsy and wonder to any pastry presentation. Tiny, light and fluttering, these dainty little feather butterflies are a unique and startling effect, making any decorative arrangement more fun and more romantic with the bright and light pink shades they bring to your decorative dessert. Set a few near the top tier and a few drifting down the sides, and a plain frosted cake turns into the photograph everybody takes.
These tiny pastry pieces come in a variety of sizes and shapes. With varying hues alighting upon their tiny wings to create the illusion of the type of life, this not only creates a gently graded contrasting effect but also serves to make them seem even more life-like. It is as if they are going to start slicing the cake up themselves and then fluttering pieces to all of the guests.
The butterflies are made of the softest high-quality feather material, and each one is painted with unique and beautiful features that adorn its wings and body. They measure approximately 2"-4" in diameter each, although they do vary slightly in size for realistic effect, which is what keeps a cluster of them from looking stamped out by a machine. The hand-painted romantic pink butterfly cake decorations are sold in packages of 24 pieces each, so one package is usually enough for a tiered cake with some left over for the dessert table.
These butterflies are the perfect decorative piece for any occasion but are especially prized at weddings, bridal showers and sweet sixteen parties. They can be used to top a cake but are also fun in brownies, cupcakes and even as the centerpiece to a giant cookie display. One reviewer decorating her two-year-old's birthday cake called the butterflies gorgeous.

Which one should I choose
Cake decorations of this kind fall into three camps, and they photograph very differently.
| Hand Painted Romantic Pink Butterfly Cake Decoration (2 Dozen) | Choose it when you want light, life-like butterflies in bright and light pink, 24 in a package, that can be arranged across tiers, cupcakes and the table. |
|---|---|
| Molded fondant or sugar toppers | Choose them when the decoration must be part of the cake itself; they are heavier, flatter and rarely as delicate as feathers. |
| Fresh flowers on the cake | Choose them for a garden look with a florist involved and same-day timing; the butterflies arrive ahead of the event and keep. |
For whimsy that arrives early, keeps, and works on a cake, a cupcake tray and a cookie display at once, the pink butterflies are the easiest win.

Questions shoppers ask about the Hand Painted Romantic Pink Butterfly Cake Decoration (2 Dozen)
How many butterflies come in a package?
Each package includes 24 hand painted butterflies, sold as 2 dozen. Count your pieces when the package arrives and email [email protected] if anything is short; one reviewer reported receiving 21 and was right to raise it.
How big are the butterflies?
They measure approximately 2"-4" in diameter each. They do vary slightly in size and shape, which is deliberate: the variation is what gives a cluster its realistic effect.
What are the butterflies made of?
The softest high-quality feather material, with each one painted by hand so the markings on the wings and body differ from piece to piece.
What color are they?
Bright and light pink shades, with varying hues across the wings that create a gently graded contrasting effect.
Are they edible?
No. They are decorative feather pieces used to dress a cake or dessert table, not an edible topping.
Can I use them on anything other than a cake?
Yes. They can be used to top a cake but are also fun in brownies, cupcakes and even as the centerpiece to a giant cookie display or a wider table arrangement.
Can the butterflies be personalized?
No. This decoration has no text personalization; each piece is hand painted and ships as supplied in packages of 24.
Do I need a proof before ordering?
No. Proofs apply to personalized items, where they are optional on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof and add days to production, with a $40 minimum updating fee for changes afterward. Nothing here is personalized, so no proof is needed.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order a single package of 24 or as many packages as your event needs. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How many packages do I need for a wedding cake?
One package of 24 usually dresses a tiered cake with pieces left for the dessert table. Order a second package if you are also decorating cupcakes or a long table.
How long does it take to receive them?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, then 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) are available. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
Can I return them, and do you ship internationally?
Because this item is not personalized, it can be returned within 14 days; personalized items elsewhere on the site are final sale unless defective. International shipping is by request, as the cart calculates US shipping only; email [email protected].
