Decorate them with the dish immediately before serving.
Butter can be pre-dyed with food colorings, then carved from them ornaments will look even more interesting.
Green color of butter can be given with the help of spinach juice, orange with carrot juice, red with beetroot. Juice is better to add to the softened oil, so that they evenly mixed, and before making the decoration put the mass in the refrigerator to freeze.
