Monarch Butterfly Cupcakes

Over the weekend I tried a project. A project that I feel ultimately failed, but I did in fact try it out.

I tried to make monarch butterfly cupcakes. Devil's food cupcakes, green icing grass and a delicate monarch chocolate butterfly on top that I was going to do free-hand. Instead I wrecked the orange colored white chocolate, put a hole in my piping bag and spilled chocolate everywhere that subsequently hardened all over the counter.
In the end, I gave up my orange monarch butterfly dreams and settled for four black and white butterflies. They are not the best. They are not exactly what I wanted. But I tried and that's what's important.
