In this exciting new collection of sugar flower designs, sugarcraft expert and author Alan Dunn focuses on the most popular varieties of exotic flowers, as well as some of his own personal favourites.

As more people take holidays in distant locations, and florists stock more exotic flowers, unusual blooms are becoming increasingly popular and accessible.  Ideal cake decorations, the flowers are breathtakingly beautiful and fascinatingly formed.  From the delicate matilija poppy to the exquisite bird of paradise, Alan's stunning designs capture the unique qualities of each individual bloom.

Every flower is fully illustrated with clear, colour photographs and detailed, practical step-by-step instructions.  The latest techniques and professional hints and tips are also included, making the designs achievable by both novice and experienced sugar flower makers.  The book shows how to wire and arrange the flowers into amazing sprays, bouquets and arrangements, and how to display them on cakes or as table decorations.
