How to make a butterfly from sugar dough


The explanations below are directed to the particular butterfly, but the same principles would mol become any other picture. Both the form and the color can be changed according to your preferences and your mood!

Everything you need for the manufacture of such peperu to:

• Sugar dough  - you can use ready or make your own. Here you can see different recipes for sugar test. You will need about 190 g sugar dough.

• Picture to use for the application.  imagery can be selected at random from the book website (it is in my case) or from another source. You'll have to make a copy of it to be able to work safely, without worrying that you may have stained and damaging the original. Apply and the picture that I've enjoyed, in case anyone else would like to use the same. .

• Pastry paint. 've used  gel paints "Wilton" in the following colors - green (Moss Green), yellow (Golden Yellow) and  Orange (Orange).
• Cutter or sharp knife
• Scissors
• Pincette
• Wooden toothpicks
• Wooden skewers for kebabs or similar instrument made of plastic.
• For the butterfly antennae 2 green wires (5-6 cm. Every) of those who enjoy handles flowers.
• Colored sugar balls (Sugar Balls)
• Suppository
• 2 wires (10-12 cm each), by the hand of a butterfly.
• Orange cloth tape with flowers to curb the cake.
• Transparent household foil (Cling film)
• Glucose diluted with a little water to adhere the parts

Method of preparation is:

To be sure of 100% that you will get a good color combination can color pencils pattern to use. This will be your mold to navigate which part of it from what color fondant to craft. Colored sugar dough in desired colors. In this case, I dyed 35 grams of fondant green fondant yellow 75g, 40g fondant pale orange - mixed yellow and orange paint and 40 g saturated orange. Print your selected picture. Then cut with scissors outlines the main elements - in this case the body and wings. The body of the butterfly is formed of 3 parts connected with a wooden toothpick. I did a little more of their body in the picture. Tentacles are made of green wire that is typically used for handles flowers. Eyes, nose and mouth are made with colored sugar balls, placed them with tweezers. Nabrazdih surface of the body with the blade. Body is ready and can be left to dry.

Since rolling out the thin yellow fondant, cut the base of the wings of a butterfly. Then cut the pattern into its constituent elements. Each of these strips have on the rolled fondant thinly and using a cutter cut. Because the base of the wings is yellow, I'm not cut out strips that are supposed to be yellow, but I'm just left empty, the place that the yellow ribbon had to borrow. Strips are "glued" to the substrate with less glucose (diluted with water) which I applied with a small brush. Better while working on the upper wings, the lower are covered with household foil to keep dry. Points of the butterfly made of green. At the end of the upper wings around the yellow area did little dots of green fondant. At the base of the lower wings, put white sugar balls. To rounded wings of a butterfly put them at the bottom of a large bowl. I let them dry so for 2-3 days.

When dry, full, I have become quite severe. Base (cake) on which they would be placed was not one for which I can "glue" of glucose. I had to do something about it. At the base of each wing (on the opposite side) glued small ball fondant, which attached a toothpick. I left 24 hours to set. Then it occurred to me that you can do the butterfly arms with which to hold a candle (the girl, which was the cake was 1 year old). For this purpose, wrapped wire around the candle and then put it with Sea Buckthorn sugar dough green. Ready attached the butterfly in the center of the cake.
