Mother's Day Tea

I was asked to make a desert for a Mother's Day Tea that someone I knew was hosting. The theme was butterflies. At each place table there was a butterfly centerpiece and a few facts about butterflies. I went through a few idea books i have and came up with these.

I decided these were best because they can be any color you want. The colors are made with sugar. So any color you can mix, you can use to tint the sugar. The big surprise that turns out to be very simple, is the the flower petals are marshmallows. YES, MARSHMALLOWS! The first time I saw these I couldn't figure out for the life of me what these were made of. When i found out, it then seemed so obvious.
