Learn the secrets of sugar floristry with Petalsweet Cakes founder Jacqueline Butler. In her exquisite and long-awaited debut 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 20 stunning sugar flowers in various stages of bloom, as well as flower buds and leaves, using a clean and contemporary color palette. 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 making styrofoam cake toppers. As well as being the most contemporary take on the subject ever produced, this book will also remain an essential reference for years to come!
"Jacqueline’s clean, modern style is represented on every single page. Her thorough, meticulous process is carefully laid out for every single flower, with clear, easy to understand instructions... I especially enjoyed reading some of the personal notes she shares. Oh, and of course she includes the recipe she uses for sugar paste. One especially noteworthy reason to buy this book is to learn about Jacqueline’s signature 'formula' for flower design. It’s what makes her flowers so recognizable..." Erica OBrien Cake Design
"The images throughout this book are beyond stunning. It is easy to forget you are reading a book about sugar flowers and that they are not actually flowers – the skill, detail and photography is simply incredible... This is without a doubt a must-have book in any cake decorator’s collection and an invaluable resource for creating stunning sugar flowers." Arlene Santillan, Australian Cake Decorating Network
"Jacqueline has broken everything down into easy to follow steps and created some ingenious techniques that make some elements so simple. Everything has detailed supply lists and clear photos matching each step to its instructions... Thank you Jacqueline for an amazing resource..." Rebecca Greenberg, Studio Manager, Faye Cahill Cake Design
