These butterflies are beautiful. They were the perfect finishing touch to my daughter's requested rainbow unicorn butterfly birthday cake, she was blown away. Reading some other reviews, I expected the butterflies to be brittle and break easily, I did not find this to be the case. Handled carefully, they adhered nicely to the cake with a small dab of buttercream frosting, and are pliable enough that if you push on the center body piece firmly, you can make the wings appear bent without breaking the butterfly.

WOW. I could not be happier with these gorgeous butterflies! Wanting to make my mother's birthday cake extra special, I stumbled across these and they did not disappoint. They were very easy to bend into a fluttering shape - my advice is to be gentle with them and to open the package about half an hour before you intend to use them. I think being exposed to the natural moisture in the air allows them to absorb just enough to be pliable - again, be gentle and do not try to bend them too far - while still staying crispy. The colors were GLORIOUS - bright and cheerful.After applying them to the cake (so easy - I just pressed them slightly down into the buttercream), several hours passed before we actually ate the cake and they stayed perfect the entire time. I was impressed. Once the cake was served, we ate them and they really don't have any flavor at all - just a crisp texture. After being refrigerated under saran overnight, they did go flat, as expected, but were still beautiful and didn't leach color into the frosting.I highly recommend these butterflies - they are showstopping and so easy to use. They make even the most humble cake mix look like a professionally made pastry. I will definitely buy these again.

These are very cool. They arrive packed flat and stacked. So make sure you keep them away from moisture (including your fridge). Some reviewers commented that they taste gross. Edible means it won't harm you. It doesn't mean it tastes good. These kinds of products are usually made from 'paper' made of potato or rice starch. So not meant to taste good but also not going to harm anyone. They were stiff but not quite so brittle that I couldn't fold them to make them look like a real butterfly would. They were amazingly cool and fun. I used only on cream cheese frosting so far and they didn't dissolve or bleed at all. Once the cake was eaten, I left them out on a plate to see how long they lasted and they never wilted or melted. Oh, and these were much smaller than I expected based on the pic advertisement. Still worked great for me but if you need a certain size make sure you check the specs.

If you are thinking of mayyyyybe buying these, DO IT. These little butterflies are awesome, the colors are beautiful, and they are ridiculously easy to manipulate. I'm trying to think of a reason to buy more. Can I work them in to my son's first birthday party? Can I top my church covered supper dish with them? Lasagna and butterflies moghy be gorgeous...

I LOVE THESE ! They came to my house a few days after I ordered them. I ate one and DO NOT RECOMMEND it ! :) Will be ordering more soon !

I ordered one set of each, a package of the large and one of the small butterflies, and had more than enough to decorate the three tiered cake for my daughter's engagement party. The colors and patterns were vibrant and varied. The butterflies looked like miniature watercolor paintings. They were easy to attach to the frosted cake with a dab of frosting that I applied with a toothpick. My only concern was that the packaging stated, "Do not refrigerate." As a result I didn't apply them until just prior to serving, which took away from other hostessing duties.If I had been more organized, I would have contacted the company prior to decorating the cake to find out if refrigerating the decorated cake for a short time would affect the appearance of the butterflies. Based on the leftovers that we put in the refrigerator overnight (on homemade buttercream frosting) the butterfly colors did not "bleed" but they did look a little "limp" after about 10 hours.Also, don't forget to inform your guests that the butterflies are edible. Most of ours thought they were finely patterned paper ones cascading up one side of the cake to encircle a faux engagement ring at the top.

This decoration makes the cake look so pretty and they are very easy to use. 4 out of 5 only because I was hoping the sizes would vary. FYI - they do not have any taste.

These were beautiful (and edible) for my daughter's birthday cake. However, they are not exactly tasty. They taste like plain rice cakes. I definitely recommend them, but don't expect them to taste like cotton candy.😉

The butterflies arrived in a timely manner and were very easy to apply to the cake. They also looked incredible! It was a hit to be able to pluck off and reapply each kid's chosen butterfly to each piece of cake. They are edible but taste neutral, as they are just made of potato starch... but I told the kids it was good luck to make a wish eat them. I do recommend waiting until the day of the party to apply them, though, as they absorb some moisture while they sit there. I applied the butterflies the night before and hid the cake in the oven for maximum surprise. In the morning, the wings were a little curved (not too bad). Anyway, would definitely order again.

Some of the butterflies were too dark so I didn't use them. Easy to use, I folded them back and used a small dab of buttercream to attach them to fondant. I live in a humid climate so wafer paper products tend to not dry out on me that bad.

I ordered a small set and a larger sized set. They just arrived, and I am happy with them overall. I was expecting them to taste sweet, but my daughter says they taste like a "stinky old rotten shoe." She is nearly eight and given to hyperbole, however.Taste: A little bitter. I thought they would be made of some kind of sugar paper, but they have the taste and texture of edible rice paper (although they are actually made of potato starch.) I believe whatever ink/colorant is used makes them a little bitter.Color: They are not as bright and the detail is not as sharp as the pictures on Amazon. The blue is quite bright as is the yellow, but the red in particular seems muted. They look like they were printed on some kind of specialty printer and then stamped/cut out. Remember printing a photograph on a home printer in the early 90s? That's a pretty good approximation of image color and quality. That said, they are quite pretty, especially arranged together. They are only printed on one side. The back is white/off white.Flexibility: I haven't figured out how to bend the wings more than a tiny bit without breaking the butterfly in half.Shipping and Packaging: they shipped in a plastic baggie inside a stiff plastic package inside a cardboard envelope. They were in perfect shape and arrived four business days after ordering from ZIP Code 91770 in Rosemead, CA.Ingredients: "wafer paper: potato starch, vegetable oil, water, vanilla, food color"Shelf life: They appear to have a pretty long shelf life. They say "do not refrigerate."I would recommend these to friends and by them again.

Edible, paper thin set of pre cut butterflies. Some of the colors are a bit more subdued than the pictures shows. My 4 yr old grandson immediately wanted to eat one, they are not sweet at all, which is ok with me. I got these to put on Easter cupcakes, and will use them for that purpose. I am not that talented at decorating with frosting, so these offer me a different choice. Over all I like them, and appreciate that this kind of thing can be purchased by people like me.

Dull in color not as pictured but they workedI put them on top of mini cupcakesNo taste very bland

The colors aren't nearly as vibrant as pictured

Cute but very thin and flimsy butterflies. butterflies are smaller than they look in picture.

They were ok, but not what the picture shows.

Per other reviewers, butterflies were flat and not easy to fold (cracked and split); tasted nasty. But looked lovely on my daughter's cake and she was very happy, so I can't complain too much.

I was expecting these to have more of an angle to them. I envisioned the wings would or could be propped up a little to give it a 3D effect, but they did not do that as well. They are more flat. They are pretty and my daughter loved seeing them on her cake.

These are very small and dull. The size is about 1.5" high by about 2" wide. In the photo, they look much larger in the photo. I expected them them to fit larger than my palm, hopefully as big as my hand. but they only fit in the center of my palm.

Nice concept, however when I tried to place them on the cake, they snapped in half, almost every single one. Maybe I wasn't doing something right... But I'd never know because no instructions came with them.

Flimsy, cheap toppers, and it does not include any pins to place butterflies on the cake.

Should have realized that since these are made of a rice paper material, there is no way to recreate this look. would work great as a flat image on cake or cupcake but they melt into it and wont look 3D like this image. They are also much smaller than they look in this picture. it must be a very tiny two tier cake they are on. Some are beautiful colors and some are lack luster. Could work well for a different project but i was hoping to recreate the photo. Too bad

was not what I expect it.

Not as vibrant or pretty as seen here...could have been a little thicker. when bent they would break in half

These arrived cracked but I used them as best I could. They did not hold up and ended up sticking to the buttercream, no longer "3-D". The kids did enjoy eating the butterflies!

Every single butterfly in the pack was broken right down the middle. I would never order these again.

They were pretty but not edible at all. They were gluey and nobody wanted to eat any so in the trash they went. As a decoration they were good, though.

Are too thin, the wings are instantly lowered and can not go for a moment to the refrigerator

Colour is dull, appear no where close to the photo shown. Thin and cheap looking, yet selling at this expensive price. Totally disappointed. Will not use it at my best friend's cake. Maybe save it later for tea party or sth less important.

I was completely disappointed with this purchase. They look nothing like the picture. The colors are washed out, the butterflies were sent flat and did not bend well, A total rip off!!
