Sugar Flowers with Bria - Spring Ephemerals
Come expand your sugar flower repertoire this spring at Flourish Cake Design! This three-day class with cake designer and sugar flower artist Bria Helgerson will guide you through her techniques to craft flowers you may not have seen tutorials for elsewhere. This class will explore spring ephemerals, the beauties that appear only briefly in springtime and fade all too quickly, but last forever in sugar. We will focus on paper-thin petals, movement both within the flowers and throughout the arrangement on a cake, often overlooked 'filler' flowers, and the color journey of a sugar petal/leaf. This class is designed for cake artists with previous gum paste experience, but all levels of experience welcome.
