Overview

Learn the secrets of sugar floristry with Petalsweet Cakes founder Jacqueline Butler. In her exquisite and accessible book, you'll learn in step-by-step detail how to create modern and sophisticated, stylized sugar flowers, and how to use them to create beautiful arrangements on wedding and celebration cakes.

Inside you'll find instructions and step-by-step photographs for 18 stunning sugar flowers in various stages of bloom, as well as flower buds and leaves, using the clean and contemporary color palette that Jacqueline's work is known for. Through six diverse projects you'll then learn how to use these foundation flowers in combination with filler flowers to create elegant cake designs, including working directly on single-tier cakes and multi-tiered cakes, as well as working on pre-made styrofoam cake toppers and separators.

Lavishly illustrated with over 600 photos, this inspirational and practical step-by-step cake decorating book will be your go-to reference on sugar flowers for years to come.
