A beautiful, clear and concise guide to crafting realistic flowers and leaves in flower paste (gum paste). In the Kew Book of Sugar Flowers, sugarcraft specialist Cassie Brown teaches you how to craft stunning, authentic-looking flowers and foliage using flower paste (gum paste). Learn how to create beautiful bouquets and stunning sprays, from the early stages of germinating your ideas - taking inspiration from nature and making moulds from real flowers and leaves - to creating floral cake decorations with an exotic or wild flower theme for a special occasion. Through clear and concise step-by-step instructions, Cassie explains every facet of crafting sugar flowers, from gaining an appreciation of the flower itself, to preparing the flower paste and colouring it to wiring the flowers into an attractive and realistic bouquet. There is a veritable garden of delights to choose from, from ornate orchids to delicate daisies. The method for crafting each individual flower is demonstrated in stunning detail beginning with an 'exploded flower' photograph that illustrates each of the individual components and working through the techniques and tricks that Cassie herself applies to create her stunning floral displays. The Kew Book of Sugar Flowers is the perfect book for the established sugarcrafter looking to develop their skills and take their cake-decorating capabilities to the next level. Readers with a particular interest in flowers and plants will also love this book for its painstaking recreation of flora in flower paste (gum paste), and the book is endorsed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew giving extra credibility to the stunning realism of the flowers that Cassie Brown has recreated. Review: Impressed. Beautiful. Easy to follow - Can I just say how impressed I am with this book. Very detailed and made easy for us to understand. I love how it looks like a dissected flower so you can tell what goes where. You can tell the experience you have an ability to teach. Great book. Can't wait for your next one. Review: Beautiful illustrated Sugar Flower book!! - This is a beautifully illustrated book of very popular sugar flowers. It has good clear color photographs of each step of the way. It has good descriptions of the tools & items used for each flower & leaf. Very glad that I purchased this book. I also like that the photos are large enough to see everything clearly without difficulty. Her flowers are spectacular. Love this book.

Very detailed instructions
This book is incredible. I have many other books by Jacqueline butler, Naomi, Alan Dunn, Lisa proctor, and this book by far is the most detailed and illustrative. The pictures are not blown out bright white so as to be impossible to see. I recommend this book to everyone.

Excellent resource! Great visual aids and easy to follow instructions
Even though I make faux flowers out of thermoplastic not gumpaste , this proved to be a valuable reference book for me. The visuals were wonderful--sometimes I didn't even have to bother reading the captions because the vital information was already there in the photos. I highly recommend getting this particular title over others that cover this kind of subject.

If only I could give 10 stars!!!
I hadn't bother to check the author of this book as from the cover I knew it would be good. To my delight and pleasure it's by the multi-talented Cassie Brown and as with everything associated with her ... tools, equipment, airbrush etc., it did not fail to please. An absolutely excellent book, so well illustrated and explained ... if only I could give 10 stars!!!
