Cascading Sugar Roses and Petal Ruffles


Todays Sugar Flower Sunday is all about sugar roses. I love the simplicity and elegance of a wedding cake with only sugar roses. It has a really modern yet timeless look. The sugar roses on this cake were made to match the roses in bride, Beverley's fresh flower bouquet. A gorgeous colour palette of pinks, purples and ivory sugar roses cascaded down the top two tiers of the cake. 

The pretty ruffles on the bottom tier were created using one of my favourite techniques- Petal Ruffles. I have a tutorial for this technique in my dove grey wedding cake tutorial in my online shop here   Don't forget to sign up for out mailing list while you are over there, I'll be sending out some discount codes very soon. 


Here is a closer look at the different colours of the sugar roses in some close up shots. Which is your favourite? I loved the deeper pink shade!

A nude pink wedding cake featuring cake lace, petal ruffles and sugar flowers. I made the sugar flowers to tie in with the brides bouquet with quicksand roses, blush lisianthus and greenery including eucalyptus.  Here is the cake all set up at The Grange Hotel, Grange over sands.   I received such a lovely email from the happy couple with some very kind words!

Amnesia Cascade Wedding Cake

Here is a wedding cake we created last year for a beautiful vintage themed wedding at Storrs Hall. A beautiful 5-tier wedding cake with lace trim and cascading amnesia sugar roses and gypsophila, delivered and set up at Storrs Hall, Winderemere and finished with fresh flowers around the bottom of the cake by Brakens of Bowness.  The flavours included  rich fruit cake,  chocolate orange truffle,  white chocolate and passionfruit,  chocolate  and vanilla. It looked lovely set up in the rotunda at  Storrs  Hall.  Here are the sugar roses in progress, before being dusted to create the beautiful vintage edges that make amnesia roses so popular for vintage themed weddings.  And then after dusting along with the gypsophilla sugar flowers. You can find a tutorial for our sugar roses in our online shop.
