Cotton and Crumbs | Handcrafted Sugar Flowers

On Monday this week my Mum and I had the pleasure of a fun packed day with Tracy from Cotton and Crumbs as we booked a one-on-one(two) tuition.

Tracy has a really beautiful modern style and creates what I think are the best sugar flowers and so it was no shock that I picked her to make my wedding cake!

I couldn't have been happier and so after we got married I thought, how fun would it be to have a go ourselves.

We booked a private tuition day so we could style it to suit us, and so we opted to make a variety of sugar flowers, leaves and finally to ice a dummy cake, lustre dust it and arrange our flowers on top.

It was an intense day - which should have been 10am-5.30pm but we didn't end up leaving till 7pm as we must have been a bit too slow - so 9 hours later we had our finished masterpieces.

She runs a variety of classes, from half day, full day to three days or even more! Intense stuff.

We won't quit our day job - but we will practise and try to perfect some new skills we have learnt.

You can buy some video tutorials on the Cotton and Crumbs website which are great value to learn some great new skills.
