SUGAR FLOWERS









I was introduced to the world of Cake Decorating 10 years ago and didn't care much about it. For me, it was one of those pastry courses that I should take and learn. Living here in New York and seeing beautiful places of inspiration like Central Park, Botanical Garden, etc. - I learned to appreciate the beauty of nature and I thought to myself that I can turn these flowers into works of art using sugar as my medium. So, here I am with a renewed sense of passion and appreciation for creating sugar art.
