Sugar Flowers
Floral decorations made from sugar are something very special. Their beauty enhances any cake for any occasion and they may be presented as
a gift or preserved as a memento.
On this DVD, Elaine MacGregor shows you how to create simple blossoms, posies
and bouquets from Lilies, Stephanotis and Jasmine to Orchids and Roses.
The techniques of cutting, forming, colouring and assembling petals and
leaves into beautiful arrangements are made easy by Elaine's step-by-step
demonstrations.

Sugar Modelling
Sugar Models can bring to life any cake. They can be humorous, beautiful and
creative.
Among the many simple models featured on this DVD are Elephants, Penguins,
Goldfish and Teddy Bears. More ambitious subjects include an Iceberg Cake, a
delightful Pastillage Vase and a jolly 'Bas Relief' Golfer - and they're all
easier than you think!
Elaine MacGregor also demonstrates many other techniques for enhancing your
sugarcraft skills including brush embroidery, stenciling, run-outs and cocoa
painting.
With these skills at your fingertips, you'll feel confident enough to tackle
almost any project and succeed. Practice makes perfect and what better way to
start than watching Elaine's easy to follow DVD.

Wedding Cakes
Wedding Cakes are the ultimate expression of the sugarcraft and yet they
don't have to be difficult to decorate. By using simple techniques, Elaine MacGregor creates five stylish cakes each
stunningly different.
These include a two-tiered royal iced cake with ready-made decorations for
those with less experience, an iced cake topped with real chocolate and
ornamented with gilded chocolate roses, a 'Teardrop Cake' featuring Royal inlay
patterns, a delicate four-tiered cake and a spectacular Edwardian confection
with ornate Royal icing patterns.
All five wedding cakes are tempting alternatives to expensive make-to-order
cakes and will encourage you to reach new heights of sugarcrafting.
