Sugar Roses ~ Dec 2008

Dec 2008.  These were the sugar flowers that I made as Christmas presents for my friends.

Roses Bouquet ~ Jan 2008

Jan 2008.  This was a mini bouquet that I put together using the sugar roses that I made earlier for my practicing exercise.

I didn't learn making these beautiful roses in the class that I went to last year.  I learnt them from a cake decoration shop owner.  She was so kind that she did a brief demonstration & gave me lots of tips. The roses that I learnt from the class were ugly as they did not look like roses to me.  When I first saw those beautiful roses in that cake decoration shop, I couldn't help but beg the owner to tell me how she did them!  Now I know the secrets.

My First Sugar Lily ~ Dec 2007

Dec 2007.  This was the first sugar lily that I made.  Since I saw people making sugar lily in the cake decoration class, I was obsessed & determined to make it (sugar lily was not part of the curriculum of the beginners class that I attended).

I didn't enroll in the intermediate class as I didn't like the teacher.  So I looked up onto the internet to find some info on how to make sugar lily.  After a bit of research, I found some basic instructions on a website.  I then went to a cake decoration shop to buy the tools.  With the additional tips given by the shop owner, I made an oriental lily successfully, yeah!
