In the Kew Book of Sugar Flowers , sugarcraft specialist Cassie Brown teaches you how to craft stunning, authentic-looking flowers and foliage using flower paste (gum paste). Learn how to create beautiful bouquets and stunning sprays, from the early stages of germinating your ideas – taking inspiration from nature and making moulds from real flowers and leaves – to creating floral cake decorations with an exotic or wild flower theme for a special occasion. Through clear and concise step-by-step instructions, Cassie explains every facet of crafting sugar flowers, from gaining an appreciation of the flower itself, to preparing the flower paste and colouring it to wiring the flowers into an attractive and realistic bouquet. There is a veritable garden of delights to choose from, from ornate orchids to delicate daisies. The method for crafting each individual flower is demonstrated in stunning detail beginning with an 'exploded flower' photograph that illustrates each of the individual components and working through the techniques and tricks that Cassie herself applies to create her stunning floral displays. The Kew Book of Sugar Flowers is the perfect book for the established sugarcrafter looking to develop their skills and take their cake-decorating capabilities to the next level. Readers with a particular interest in flowers and plants will also love this book for its painstaking recreation of flora in flower paste (gum paste), and the book is endorsed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew giving extra credibility to the stunning realism of the flowers that Cassie Brown has recreated. Foreword by Eddie Spence M.B.E. Eddie Spence MBE has enjoyed an illustrious career in confectionery and cake design and his superior skills have earned him the opportunity to decorate many cakes for the royal family, including Her Majesty the Queen herself.

An absolutely excellent book, so well illustrated and explained ... if only I could give 10 stars!!! Review: Sugar craft book - Very imformative

The book is okay but most of it it’s like a collection of other sugar flower artists ideas
The book is okay but most of it it’s like a copy or let’s say a collection of other sugar flower artists ideas like Alan Dunn or Jacqueline Butler. If you have their books you don’t need this one, same techniques step by step. There are few new things like the pine cone that I like!

Impressed. Beautiful. Easy to follow
Can I just say how impressed I am with this book. Very detailed and made easy for us to understand. I love how it looks like a dissected flower so you can tell what goes where. You can tell the experience you have an ability to teach. Great book. Can't wait for your next one.
