SUGAR FLOWER
PORTFOLIO

“I thought the flowers were real”

I strive to make sugar flowers resemble real flowers. Cut flowers sadly wilt, sugar flowers kept in the right conditions will last for years. They can be a keepsake of a special event.

The photographs are of a selection I have made. If you would like to learn how to make flowers, I offer 1:1 classes. To find out more please get in touch.
