Butterflies by Nikki Carriere

I used wafer paper, which I colored with food coloring pens , as the wings. I've never used wafer paper, or food coloring pens, before. Learning as I go.

@Nikki Carriere - These cookies look great - nice job! However, you submitted two very similar sets of butterfly cookies into the challenge, and we only allow multiple entries if the entries are completely distinct/unique. Can you please choose which of the butterfly sets you'd like to keep in the challenge by commenting under it on the site? Thank you!

I'm sorry - I'll get the hang of this yet. So, why not this one. Thank you, Julia.

It seems that "things with wings" are perfectly suited to wafer paper, no?  You did a great job here of positioning the wings.  Did you have to prop them up while the royal icing bodies dried?

Thank you Bakerloo Station. Yes, I did. I used other cookies, and decorating tips to  prop the larger cookies - the two little ones didn't need propping.

Very pretty!
