Sugarcraft Flowers: The Art of Creating Beautiful Floral Embellishments

Product Information

We hope you enjoy browsing through our selection of handmade flowers. The easiest way to add some colour is by using the edible dusting powders which also come in silvers and golds. Pour a little of the dust onto some kitchen paper and using a medium soft brush take up a small amount of the dust. As you can always add more colour but not take it away we usually now brush a few strokes across the kitchen paper to only leave a tiny amount on the brush - this avoids brushing streaks of colour across the flowers. Keep adding the colour until content with the result. We also now have a selection of lustre sprays in pearl gold blue and green. If you are looking to make an arrangement similar to this one, you will want to give yourself two days to allow for drying time overnight.
