Fifteen pink ones for the girls and...
fifteen blue ones for the boys.
You wouldn't think I'd have so much trouble finding butterfly cutters, even in Singapore... but I did! Couldn't find them in BIY, because apparently someone had come in a while before and swept all the cutters off the shelves and bought the lot : P. Couldn't find any in PH. Then a friend suggested Shermay's school, which is the last place I would have thought to go, because the shop space is so tiny... but hey, they had them, and they were on sale too : )... hooray! But they were hEUUGE. And wouldn't you know it, I just happened to go to Laura Ashley at Great World last night and they were selling a set of three pretty butterfly cutters for $20, in a pretty box too.
I found this project a little tough going, because I didn't forward plan as much as I should have. Things like not having enough whadjammacallits, sorry , couplers, or not having as small a tip as I would have liked. Plus constant stress worrying that I'd run out of icing. I made 2.5 recipes, but borrowed heavily for my sister's cake : ). Some things just don't go your way... I ran out of blue flow icing with only ONE cookie left to go. I made up some more, piped it in, then lost TWO cookies to breakage (butter fingers!) so had to pipe in another two more, and barely barely made it with what I had left. Moral of the story: plan, plan, plan!
