Okay, yep. I just watched this again (I downloaded it so that I could watch it whenever I'm unable to get the Internet), and I just cannot get over these tiny, gorgeous butterflies! They are so sweet, and so delicate! I love them so much! 💖💖💖

Thanks, Laura!

[@lindaphillips2325]

It doesn’t let me connect to a website. You mentioned template would be on there

[@sheredoz]

You need to demo that cookie. It is stunning.

[@Queenpin]

Thanks! I was thinking about doing a demo for the butterfly cookie and some other spring-themed cookies. 🙂

[@sheredoz]

Yes please. If you incorporate some of these RI butterflies, you could direct viewers back to this video... just a thought. Have a great day.

[@Queenpin]

@@sheredoz That is a fabulous idea! I just might film that today. 🙂🦋

[@cherylspencer8707]

Hi! Are they easy to peel off with the bamboo skewers? Do you push/loosen from underneath? I’m just picturing me (being too firm!) Breaking the delicate wings! 😖🤣 Great tutorial; thank you! 🤗🤗 xx

[@Queenpin]

Yes, the wings are already dry by the time you line them up on the skewers so the wings don't stick. Let the middle body part dry completely before you move the butterfly and you will be fine. Once dry, royal icing slips right off the parchment paper.

[@cherylspencer8707]

@@Queenpin that’s brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to respond. xx

[@Queenpin]

@@cherylspencer8707 Of course! Thanks for watching!
