Butterflies and Flowers

This cake didn't have a reason. It was just a cake because I wanted some more practice. I love the color of this cake and I liked making the butterflies. I need lots more practice on my piping but it is hard to get practice when you only make a cake once in a while. The little candy pearls in the centers of the flowers I actually colored with petal dust and they turned out pretty nice. Next time I would like to try to think out the butterflies some. This cake was also almond buttercream which I did smooth out with the Viva paper towel method.
