About Melody @ Sweet and Saucy Shop

My sister and I are trying to learn how to make all sorts of sugar flowers. We have become quite obsessed with them, and my credit card bill definitely proves it! I have only actually taken one class from Ron Ben-Israel on how to make sweet pea sugar flowers, and the rest we have learned through books and watching videos from Nicholas Lodge. Sugar flowers are very tedious and require a lot of patience (and tools), but they are also one of the more artistic aspects of cake decorating.

The cake was buttermilk cake with white chocolate mousse buttercream and fresh strawberries…yummy! We made it for a recent bridal shower and were very excited to put our sugar flower knowledge to the test and create a gorgeous cake for the bride-to-be!

We had such a great time making these peonies, berries, parrot tulips and butterflies! Definitely let me know which one you liked the best!

That peony is just gorgeous! What do the flowers taste like? Although I’d feel terribly guilty eating one after all that hard work.

Oh my gosh, they’re so lifelike — and way too delicious to ruin by cutting that cake…it should just be preserved forever! ;-)

Thanks everyone!
Miss Duckling - Although the flowers are edible they really aren’t meant to be eaten, but rather to be kept for a lifetime.
Miss Rye Bread - Those flowers are large parrot tulips.
