Why This Deal Is Worth It

If you are like me, you are tired of spending forty minutes wrestling with fondant or paying a professional baker for a simple birthday cake. The YOcity wafer paper butterflies are a genuine time-saver because they arrive pre-cut. I have tried the cheaper versions that require a steady hand and scissors, and I inevitably end up tearing the wings or getting frustrated. These are made of rice paper, which means they are sturdy enough to hold their shape on top of frosting without turning into a soggy mess. Because they are virtually tasteless, they do not ruin the flavor of your store-bought or homemade cake. This is for the busy parent who needs a cake to look Pinterest-worthy in under five minutes. If you are staring down a school birthday party or a last-minute baby shower, these butterflies turn a plain grocery store sheet cake into a curated centerpiece. That is effectively three hours of stress and labor saved per party. One caveat: these are delicate. Handle them with dry hands, or the moisture from your skin will cause the rice paper to curl prematurely. They are meant for a final touch, so wait until the very last second to place them.
