This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Classic Sugar Flowers: Peony, Anemone, Tulip »

Instructions

I used the information that I learned in the classes Exotic Sugar Orchids,Handcrafted Sugar Flowers and other Craftsy classes that I took on-line. I love the classes. Can't wait to take the Peony, Anemone and Tulip class by Nicholas Lodge that I just bought today.

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Romantic


Materials

gum paste, cutters. veiner, petal dust, pliers, tweezers, wire

What was your inspiration?

I was asked to make a wedding cake so I decided to brush up on my sugar flower skills. I took many food related and cake decorating classes on Craftsy. Loved every one of them. I learned a lot.

What are you most proud of?

The total outcome of the floral wedding cake topper. I also made the cake and got lots of information on how to stack a cake properly, etc. from the numerous classes that I took through Craftsy courses.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take as many classes as you can. You will love them. Don't be intimidated by any of them. The instructors are great and if you don't understand something you can ask them a question and they will answer you.

Yes, I highly recommend all of the Craftsy courses. I have bought most of the cake decorating courses and loved them all and some of the cooking classes. Also, check out the link for free classes.

Very beautiful,was wondering if I should trust this site and take a class. Thank you for this review, I am a beginner at decorating and know that it is going to take patients and practice. People love the cake choices and taste of my cakes. I just did my own types of decorating,now I want to go further.
