All of our sugar flowers are made in house, one petal at a time. Each year, we spend countless hours researching flowers and developing our skills — and we love to share our knowledge via online tutorials and in-person workshops.

Our goal is not to compete with nature, but to celebrate its beauty and produce breathtaking adornments for our cakes.

In choosing sugar flowers for your cake, you are supporting us as artisans in our quest to keep this remarkable art form alive and thriving.

Advantages of Sugar Flowers

• Flexibility — Using sugar, we can make absolutely any type of flower, in any color, at any time of year. There are no seasonal restrictions!

• Durability — Sugar flowers NEVER wilt. In contrast, fresh flowers are on borrowed time once they’re inserted into your cake, and can droop and even turn brown by the time your cake-cutting photos are taken. One alternative is to insert fresh blooms into water picks, but these will puncture your cake with large holes causing stability issues and possible leakage (which could ruin the artwork on the cake!). Sugar flowers carry no such risks.

• Sentimental Value — Sugar flowers can be kept for years as a treasured memento. Many of our clients choose to keep their sugar flowers in a glass shadow box or under a cloche, which makes for an exquisite display in their home.

• Timelessness — Depending on which historical accounts you read, sugar flowers date back to the 16th century, and were popularized in 18th-century France (where they were used to decorate the desserts of the royal court). Sugar flowers are as timeless as it gets. You can’t say that about any other cake decorating trends!

• Safety — Sugar flowers are made from gum paste, which contains sugar and vegetable gum (e.g. tylose). They are completely safe to come into contact with food. In contrast, fresh flowers are contaminated with pesticide/herbicide residues and preservatives, not to mention dirt and bugs! Some of the most popular fresh flowers requested for wedding cake decoration are inedible — indeed, some are even poisonous, whether they’re grown organically or not. These include: Ranunculus, Sweetpea, Calla Lily, Hyacinth, Anemone, Hydrangeas, and Lily of the Valley, among others. With sugar flowers, there is no such issue.
