How are the butterflies made?
Depending on the style you wish to create, edible wafer butterflies are available online via sites such as Etsy and Amazon, in an array of different colours, styles and sizes. However, they're extremely delicate, meaning the chances of damage can be high when ordering online. Light-as-air butterflies can also be created using rice paper to give them that real-life appearance, so ask your baker if they fancy the challenge?
