Discover the Unique Language of Sugar Paste Flowers

Sugar paste flowers have a language all their own, one that speaks of beauty, love, and delight. In three sessions, you’ll learn to speak this language yourself, so you can surprise family and friends with awe-inspiring confectionary creations that express your creative vision. Learn how to use these flowers to give your desserts, wedding cakes, and even simple birthday cakes complexity and dimension.

Through the hands-on instruction and demonstration that have made The FCI so renowned, you’ll learn how to make sugar paste dough and craft whimsical creations while working in the same kitchens used by our career students.

What You’ll Learn

The FCI’s talented chef-instructors will guide you in the varied techniques used to fashion and shape delicate sugar paste flowers and—as the ultimate achievement—a fanciful floral bouquet of your own design. By the end of 15 hours, you’ll know how to:

  • Select and use the proper tools used for making sugar paste flowers
  • Color, style, and shape sugar paste dough
  • Handcraft lifelike flowers that include such details as centers and leaves
  • Compose a bouquet of sugar paste flowers
