Giveaway from Sugar Robot! (this giveaway is now closed)

Oh......do I have a fun shop to share with you today! I found a shop called Sugar Robot that makes these beautiful, edible butterflies. They are so bright and colorful they just make you smile. I made my cupcakes (the ones pictured below) for someone that I was taking dinner to that had been very, very sick. I think these little beauties could bring a smile to anyone's face.

One thing I wondered about was how in the world do they ship these beautiful butterflies without them breaking and in the picture below you will see. Not one butterfly was damaged when I got mine.

**UPDATE - I was asked how long they last so I contact Sugar Robot and she said they are good for about 2 months.

This is what Sugar Robot had to say about their shop:

When did you open your Etsy shop? We opened in July of 2009 and absolutely love it. We've tried running shops in other Handmade community websites and nothing compares.

How did you start making edible butterflies? Creating the butterflies was really an evolution of many different factors. About 9 years ago I took my very first cake decorating class. I love decorating but don't like to bake all that much (go figure). After I was introduced to fondant I got the idea to start making fondant cupcake covers for the people who love to bake but don't like to decorate. Fondant evolved somehow into wafer paper. Butterflies were the natural choice. The shapes and colors work gorgeously with texture of the wafer paper.

Do you take custom orders? We do take custom orders!

What's your favorite item in your shop? Right now my favorite item is our personalized green leaves. Having custom printing adds that little extra touch to impress your guests.

Buy It - These butterflies would be perfect for birthdays, Easter, weddings, anniversaries, baby showers not to mention just to brighten up someone's day.
