Real By Sugar-made Flowers

For the flowers made by sugar, I really cannot get enough of them

, because they are so beautiful and vivid, just like real ones. I am really confused about the process of how it was created and these perfect art-form are fantastic. In order to dig out the secret of the sugar flowers, we decide to have a interview with the ever-talented Ana of Ana Parzych Custom Cakes. Here"s what she had to say...

PTW: I am really curious about the sugar flowers. Could you tell us your background about yourself? And how long have you been designing them for?

Ana: A few years ago, I went to Art School, so I have a background of painting & sculpture, what is more, I studied the graphic design too. Based on these, I started to make sugar flowers about 7 years ago, after basic form from some famous teachers and then I begin self-learning via books and practice, which promoted my skills a lot.

PTW: we know that making this kind of unique flowers can be a tough process. So can you tell us the process about it? How do you make them so real in appearancejust like real flowers? Do you use real flowers photos as your guidance for your art works?

Ana: When making sugar flowers, I start with either a fresh sample of the flower I"d like to replicate or a very good, detailed picture. Hand-made sugar flowers are time -consuming and very labor-intensive process that can last many days. You must be patient and careful about this. It is necessary to roll the flower paste or gumpaste to be very thin, almost translucent, and then I cut each individual petal using special cutters, which I then glue onto a dried, pre-made center. Once all the petals and calyxes are complete, and the flower is completely dry, I dust them with powder food colors, using a soft sable brush. It is necessary to apply several layers of colors, this is what really brings them to looks like real ones.

PTW: Since the making of sugar flowers is time-consuming and labor - intensive, the price of them can be a practical question. Can you please explain the cost of sugar flowers? Are some more expensive than others? How do you range them when it comes to pricing?

Ana: Normally, we do not sell them in an individual way, we sell them just as part of the cake. And the price of them is various from the work and time we contribute in. Some flowers are much more complex, such as the multi-petal peonies, so the prices of them are higher than others.

If you are really fond of me and still can"t get enough of them, then you might be eager to look at a cake that Ana made for Martha Stewart Weddings. It has instructions in a detail way on how to make the flowers.
