SUGAR PASTE FLOWERS
What are sugar paste flowers?
Many flowers are made of butter cream. This limits the flowers to simple shapes and forms, and a short life. Sugar paste is a special blend of sugar, a gum blend, and water. It maintains a firm consistency that allows shaping and modeling into a variety of shapes. It is able to take and hold textures for outstanding detail. Because it contains no fat (like butter cream), sugar paste will last indefinitely when dried. It is also edible!
