How to Make 3D Butterflies with Cake Lace

[@sharonperry7588]

Wow! I have made butterflies in the past, but they wilted on the frosting! Now! I will be able to make amazing butterflies for my spring cupcakes! Thank you so much! Game Changer for sure!

[@vimigisby4208]

You make it look so simple, I'm certainly going to have a go. I have made the lace butterflies but not the 3d ones. Thank you

[@Mrsgooses]

Love how your designs of cake decorating butterfly and more!!!!*****

[@estrogenacres4988]

thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly :-). I thought I would try the Luster Dust first. I tried making some lace before with disastrous results but I didn't use these products so I'm going to give it another try LOL

[@Mrsgooses]

I found them really easy to use and they turned out great for me. Good luck!

[@estrogenacres4988]

Thank you!!!

[@mindyglazer1150]

Gorgeous!! I NEED to make these! Thanks for the informative video!

[@Mrsgooses]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching :D

[@christinetimson521]

Thanks for showing me the way you have used the mat for 3D butterflies. It was really interesting as I have not yet tried mixing the premix with the powder, I just used all premix. I also tried premix followed by a coat of powdered mix. Those were also firm but 24 hours later the wilted again. Can you let me know if the ones you have made using the above technique were still like that 24hrs later? It will be useful to know and thanks for sharing.

[@Mrsgooses]

Thanks for watching! I'll let you know how they're doing in 24hrs :)

[@Mrsgooses]

So, I've had a look at the butterflies again 24hrs later and they are definitely softer than before, but they are still holding their 3D shape (some better than others). I'm not sure if they will continue to soften or not. It's quite hot and humid here at the moment, which I'm sure isn't helping. I think if I went to use them and they were too soft, I would put them back into the oven for 10 min on the foil triangles to dry them out again. Hope that helps. I'll let you know if they continue to change.

[@susanburns1442]

love your video and want to try making them but i dont know what you mean by dry powder mix.

[@Mrsgooses]

Susan Burns Hi Susan. Thanks! The dry powder mix is the Cake Lace White Mix - amzn.to/1JUKv60. It comes in two parts and you need to mix up yourself.

[@selenathompson958]

were can you buy it

[@SpiritGirl1961]

How do they hold up when used on buttercream cakes instead of fondant?

[@Mrsgooses]

They absorb the moisture from the buttercream, so they do tend to wilt a bit. I would just add them at the last minute for a buttercream cake.

[@Jolene8]

Those are beautiful!

[@katsleggsful]

Do the mixes accept color well, perhaps gel food coloring? I need to make pink ones .... yours are beautiful by the way.

[@Mrsgooses]

You can color them with gel or powder food color. Thanks!

[@vimigisby4208]

I also found after some time the bigger ones went flat, when I am ready to use them can I put them bent over foil peaks and bake again? Thank you so much for your response.

[@Mrsgooses]

vimi gisby I haven't tried that, but I don't see why not. Baking will dry them out again and should make them hold their shape again. Please let me know how that works out! :)

[@NailsbyCarolelee]

[@jsmith8035]

what is white powder mix? cornflour or icing sugar...thanks

[@normaportillo2002]

Can you make them in colors or paint them after they are done.

[@Mrsgooses]

Using a colored cake lace mixture works or using a luster dust (or similar powder) once dried works too.

[@vimigisby4208]

Followed your instructions and my 3D butterflies came out as suggested, however, some broke and are not so flexible. What is the best way to store them? Thank you

[@Mrsgooses]

vimi gisby If you would like them more flexible, you can play around with the baking time. I find that less time in the oven and they're a little more flexible. I also find that they will soften if it's really humid. I store mine in an aluminum pie dish with foil over the top and that works well for me. Thanks!

[@laimabu1]

hi. I really need to make a 3d butterflies for a wedding cake. Can you tell me, please, how do you call them mixtures and where can I buy them in the UK? thanks for your reply

[@Mrsgooses]

+Laima Bubelevičienė Hi Laima. You can buy the mixture and equipment from www.cakelace.co.uk/ Thanks!

[@stephaniebelokopitsky484]

What would you recommend to do if I wanted these to be gold butterflies? Thank you so much!

[@Mrsgooses]

They make a gold cake lace. Or you could just brush the dried butterflies with a gold luster dust.

[@dotcummings9014]

My husband just got me this butterfly sheet, can you tell me what stuff you use as we thought it was for fondant but that didn't work lol, I need to make these 😊

[@Mrsgooses]

Hi Dot. I used the Claire Bowman Cake Lace products: Cake Lace White Mix - 200g - amzn.to/2947MCI Cake Lace Spreader - amzn.to/1vcsXcU Cake Lace Premixed Pearlised White - amzn.to/298uewT Also, there are some other cake lace products available, which I haven't tested, that might be quicker to order: Madame Loulou Smart Lace - amzn.to/3lhtIRY Have fun!

[@dotcummings9014]

[@olgacolonforeversky]

Wowww

[@ladij153]

How much water and part B liquid did you use for the regular mix? Also, how did you get the slight curl in the butterfly wings?

[@Mrsgooses]

+ladij153 The regular mix is 4 tablespoons Part A and 50ml water (mix for 2 min), then add 1/2 teaspoon Part B (mix for 5 min). I have a mixing video if you want to check it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjPfKWbeLGNY68 The slight curl in the wings was natural. I just left them on the foil peaks and they did that on their own.

[@ladij153]

oh, okay...I thought you mixed up just a partial recipe! Thank you!!

[@user-yt4bl2bj3d]

Hi! I followed your video ( thank you so much for this) and they turned out great out of the oven.... But the went all limp and floppy the next day :( any tips?

[@Mrsgooses]

Hi Karen! Thanks for watching and glad to hear they turned out great...but sorry to hear they went floppy. I've found that they're very sensitive to moisture/humidity. So, I keep mine on some foil in a cardboard cake box (that's not air tight) in a dry, dark cupboard (so air can help keep them dried out). That seems to work much better. I've also had success in popping them back in the oven to dry them out again, if they've gone floppy. Hope those tips help.

[@SunitaSharma-vw8jd]

mrs gooses goodies ps

[@dbeyefordetail]

can these butterflies be put on butter icing without them going soft

[@Mrsgooses]

+Vera Boulton Yes they do tend to soften on buttercream. If you put them on the cake at the last minute, then they will likely keep their shape while the cake is presented and cut :)

[@carmenpamonag1949]

It's amazing butterflies, but where can I purchase this mat.

[@carmenpamonag1949]

Thanks!

[@marioncurtis3709]

I want white butterflies. What do I use in place of the peralised White?

[@Mrsgooses]

Marion Curtis I'm not sure what you'd use in place of the pearlised white. I would try using the regular white both times and see what happens.

[@tania030962]

so beautiful , however, what can I do due my get so sticky on my mat that when I tried to pull it out it breaks, please help

[@Mrsgooses]

+Tania Yanez-Duncan Hi Tania. It sounds like you might need to let them dry out a little more before trying to pull them out. I hope that works. Thanks!

[@tania030962]

I left it over night and it was so sticky that I could not pull it out :(

[@Mrsgooses]

+Tania Yanez-Duncan Oh no. It shouldn't be sticky at all. Is it really humid where you are? Maybe it's just too humid. 've never had them be too sticky...it just sounds like they haven't dried properly. If air drying isn't working, then you might need to dry them in the oven.

[@tania030962]

yes I leave in Barbados in the Caribbean :(

[@tania030962]

do you think I should try in an AC room ?

[@carrriot]

Thanks!!!

[@christinerefalo4809]

How long can you store the 3D butterfly's before using

[@Mrsgooses]

I've stored mine for about 2 months before using them and they were fine.

[@esperanzalasmilyunanocheca5064]

Si pueden ponerlo en español gracias

[@anahidartyun8137]

Hi, can you paint them with brush

[@Mrsgooses]

Hi. You can use a brush to dust them with color, but you need to use something dry like a luster dust. If you use wet paint, they will melt/breakdown.

[@susanlawrence9259]

Hi my name is sue just been trying the 3d lace butterfly's to your instruction baking three times they came out hard left them overnight and they have all gone flat is there something i'm not doing i have wedding cake next week and really need this to work for me please help x

[@Mrsgooses]

Susan Lawrence Hi Sue. There are a few things I can think of that might help. Did you use the 2 different mixes - white dry powder mix that you mix up yourself and the premixed cake lace? You can also try to vary the cooking temperature and time as each oven is different - you do want them to come out dry/hard after the last bake on the foil so that they'll hold their shape. When you left them overnight, was it in a humid place? - I find that if they go in an airtight container or are just in a humid room they'll absorb the moisture and flatten out again. You can always try putting them back over the foil edge and baking again to dry them out again. I hope these suggestions help :) Please let me know if you have more questions

[@Mrsgooses]

Susan Lawrence I'd try 1 tsp white mix combined with 2 tsp premix on the first coat and then just the premix on the second coat. That's the only thing I think I did differently.

[@susanlawrence9259]

thanks ill try that i used petal paste at the back so they would collapse lol did the trick x

[@Kids7175]

I just can't get this to work for me, if I put in the oven for the said time..they go limp and if I put them back for a further minutes they go hard and crack.......just failed for the 7th time........help

[@Mrsgooses]

belinda meadows Oh no. I'm not sure what's happening. So, you're baking 3 times total - 1 with a combination of the 2 mixes (premixed pearl & white powder mixture), 1 with an added layer of the premixed pearl, 1 with the butterflies hanging over the foil? There are only 2 things I can think of - One is using the combination of the premixed pearl and original white mix in the silicone mat. Two is that your oven might be too hot. I always keep an oven thermometer in my oven just to make sure (my oven's not reliable). If you've tried all of that, please let me know and I'll see what else we can think of.

[@christinerefalo4809]

How long can you store them before you use them

[@Mrsgooses]

I've stored mine for about 3 months before using. I keep them in a foil container, loosely covered, so air can still get to them and keep them dry. I find if you put them in an airtight container, they wilt and go back to being flat.

[@isabelgerena6256]

Hello, can these be colored? Can I use Color Mist, edible paints etc?

[@Mrsgooses]

Isabel Gerena Hi Isabel. I haven't tried coloring them before. The premix mixture comes in different colours, so that's the easiest way to get a different color. The butterflies are quite delicate, so I would be concerned that the Color Mist or edible paints would be too heavy and wet. I would probably try a color/shimmer/pearl dust as they are much lighter and dry.

[@isabelgerena6256]

Ok thank you!!

[@traceyrhoades1219]

[@nancimiranda9262]

Can you color them and if so how.

[@Mrsgooses]

Nanci Miranda Hi Nanci. I find the easiest way to color them is to brush a little bit of lustre over the finished butterflies. This is one of the colors of lustre dust that Claire Bowman has - amzn.to/1NTQMfR. They also make different colors of the pearlized cake lace - amzn.to/1LQd2oM - so you can just use the color you're after. I also think that you can use a small amount of concentrated gel food coloring - amzn.to/12k2X3h - to tint the mix to the color you want, but I haven't tried this method yet.

[@nancimiranda9262]

Thank you. I'll look for the lustre to see if Edwards cake and Candy carries it.

[@magikdust2095]

why do you need to do two coats?

[@Mrsgooses]

+Magik Dust To make it thickstrong enough to hold the 3D shape. If you'd just like to lay the butterflies flat on top of you cake/cupcake, then one coat is fine.

[@bobbiebeam6999]

are they eddible?

[@holyy4742]

I believe that they are edible.

[@Mrsgooses]

+Bobbie Beam Yes they are edible.

i have had the biggest saga which these 3d butterflies for the pat 3 days and i feel like pulling my hair out i have been using the cadbury's purple premix and then using 1tsp white mix with 2 tsp pearlised drying the butterflies over foil etc and 24 hours later my butterflies have flopped flat! they are all crisp and hard when taken out the oven then over night they have gone soft and limp what can i be doing wrong? do you think its worth doing for example pre mix colour, baking then just adding the pearlised (without adding the white mix) on the back then baking? Someone please advise

[@Mrsgooses]

Tweenie weenie Hi. The 3D butterflies seem to cause a lot of frustration. I've had a couple of other people with the same problem. I haven't tried the purple premix, but I would assume it's the same as the pearl premix, so that shouldn't be an issue. You definitely need a layer of the white mix and premix. I bake that combination layer first - I'm starting to think that this layer copes best with being baked twice more. I think it must provide a sturdier base. Are you baking the white mix and premix first? Next thing I can think of is your oven temperature - I use an oven thermometer to check my temp. I know different ovens bake differently, so you might need to vary the temp slightly and the bake time slightly. I also make sure that the first layer is dry (not tacky/sticky at all) and cool before adding the next layer. Then the same again for the second layer before laying over the foil. The last thing I can think of is storage. I keep mine in a container that's not airtight as I want them to stay as dry as possible. The 3D butterflies seem to require a lot more trial and error, so hopefully some of my suggestions help. Please let me know how you go and thanks for watching :)

[@foodcritic497]

mrs gooses goodies i have been applying the premix cadburys purple baking for 15 -20mins then 2tsp pearl mix nd 1tsp white mix applying a 2nd layer and baking for 20min and 70 degrees celcius then removing and placing on bent foil strips and baking some more for 15mins the moment they are out after an hour or 2 they are limp and floppy

[@Mrsgooses]

Tweenie weenie A few things that you can try that seemed to work for me are: 1. increasing your oven temp (I bake mine at 76 celsius) 2. baking the 1tsp white mix and 2tsp premix as the first layer, then the purple premix as the second layer 3. only bake the first and second layer for about 10min (then bake for 20 min when they are over the foil) Hope that helps!

[@foodcritic497]

Would the purple still have the design on if i did it as the 2nd layer? Sorry to sound clueless x appreciate your help

[@Mrsgooses]

Tweenie weenie Yes, it will still look like the lace pattern, so you need to make sure you scrape off any excess mix.
