Beautiful Sugar Flowers

Beautiful Sugar Flowers.

Cake artists embellish wedding cakes with all kinds of decorations, but sugar flowers are easily the most breathtaking and require the most skill. These creations, usually made with gum paste, fondant or buttercream, look stunningly real but are completely 100% edible.

This simple fondant-covered cake is adorned with fine pink peonies and greenery so detailed, the stems look as if they were plucked straight from the plant itself.

Can you believe these plush roses are pure sugar? Accompanied by dainty sprigs of greenery, a collection of ombré ruffled cakes are transformed with the help of lifelike roses.

The benefit of sugar flowers is, no matter the season and type of flower you desire, you can create them in any color, shape and size. This traditional white wedding cake is adorned with immaculate white flowers in utter sophistication.

Lilies have a fresh, modern appeal. And in sugar form, they make an idyllic embellishment to this crisp, banded five-tier cake.

Sugar flowers have additional benefits – they won’t wilt, they won’t attract bugs and believe it or not, they pretty much last forever. So, if a certain type of flower is on your wish-list but the real thing isn’t, incorporate beautiful sugar flowers for a perfect finishing touch to your wedding cake.
