Everything You Need To Know About Sugar Craft

 

You’ve probably heard of sugarcraft from some baking or cake decorating TV program like “Ace of Cakes.” Sugarcrafting has been increasing in popularity across many countries after initially rising to fame in the UK and USA. It’s the perfect way to decorate beautiful cakes and make them the centerpiece of the evening at any event.

Here’s all you need to know:

It’s hard work

You might hear professional cake makers and sugar crafters say that sugar crafting is more of a hobby than a business, even though they’re doing the task for a living. It can take up to 40 hours just to make a delicate flower bouquet out of sugar! However, the satisfaction if gazing upon a completed work of your art is sure to make it all worthwhile.

What exactly is sugar craft?

Sugar craft is a kind of three-dimensional decorating method for cakes. It has many different styles, including models and characters that can be made out of fondant or sugar paste, or even botanically correct and incredibly lifelike flowers!

You usually use fondant to cover cakes—it can be bought in many different colors, but you can also use your own food colors to get the exact shade that you need. Most bakers use color pastes, but different types of dust can also be used as a finishing touch or ‘paint’ over the layer of fondant.

To make your sugar crafting work easier, you can find an incredible array of dust, pastes, colors, plungers, cutters, boards, and tools. While the initial investment can get a bit pricey, the tools last for years and can help you make any event just a little bit more special!

What are cake flowers made of?

One of the most common decorations that you’ll see on any cake is flowers. Delicate and lifelike flowers are made using confectioner’s sugar and gum that’s mixed to form a paste before getting carefully shaped into flower petals. These petals are then left to dry until they turn hard like porcelain.
