Agata & Dwayne - Tuscany Wine Estate July 2012

Agata & Dwayne had a beautiful Sunday Wedding, held at Tuscany Wine Estate in the Hunter. They opted for a small ceremony and reception, but having 46 guests didn't stop them from having one big dessert table! The choices were amazing. I definitely made extra of just about everything...white choc blondies with maple cream cheese filling, raspberry ricotta tarts, blueberry crumb cakes, Belgium choc mousse, and much more.

Our Sugarpaste Roses Class

Last Tuesday we had the great pleasure of teaching 4 of our students how to create stunning sugarpaste roses. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the girls all came early, excited to see what they were going to create. The class was made up of one super sweet bride of ours, Gabby, a decorating machine! Kat, and two new converts, Kendall and Michelle, who thanks in part to our classes have discovered a new passion: Cakes and Icing!!!

In class we taught how to make the perfect "imperfect" rose, a closed peony, and a wild open rose. All have their own ways of creating petals, shaping, veining, and drying. All with their own little tips and tricks. 

Over the day long class, we spent much of the time working at a nice calm pace. The students were amazingly fast learners, and it was incredible to see their flowers taking shape in front of them. We really had a wonderful day sharing our experience and teaching techniques that were quite new and foreign to our students. But they kept an open mind, and continued to see their creations grow. The sense of pride they exhibited once the final open rose was complete was inspiring. All the girls did amazing. Their creations are below, and I hope this class inspires them to continue creating beautiful floral cakes and sweets. 

Happy Decorating!

Sugarpaste Roses Class - 27th September 2011

Next week we have our first ever sugarpaste flower class. Roses, peonies and Wild Roses. This is an all day class, costing $275.

There have been a lot of interest in our roses over the years, they are known for looking extremely realistic. This is achieved through a combination of techniques, veining, dusting and assembling petals together. We are going to teach step by step how to create these stunning roses.

As well as our signature roses, we are teaching closed peonies, full like our roses, yet more ruffled, imperfect, and layered.

We have a third design, the Wild Rose, which will be a very garden inspired design, that will be revealed in class, for everyone to see, touch and examine.

For anyone interested in this class, please email us at sugarrushclasses@bigpond.com or call us on (02) 4948 1286.
