A must for your Collection Once again another book is available for the budding or experienced artist. Even if you are experienced there is always a little something different from each artist.
Sugar Flowers This is a beautiful book to look at - amazing flowers. However, I felt it was more of a "show off" book, rather than an actual "how-to" book. I wanted another book, but it was apparently out of print, so I chose this one. I think, for my purposes, it was too costly for the material covered.
Leslie Herbert's Complete Book of Sugar Flowers This is a very lovely book. Full of great information for the more advanced decorator. It is a fine one to add to your permanent library, especially if you really enjoy making fondant/gumpaste flowers. She offers some of the more interesting and unusual flowers. She is from the U.K. so some of the flowers are not ones we get in the U.S.A. Most of these flowers require cutters, but she does include some that do not. There are good step by step directions, provided you do have some knowledge of this medium. The only flower that I can't find a cutter for here is the carnation and it looks as though it would be a great way to make it, too.
Variety I am just starting out with gum paste and sugar flowers. This book has a wide variety of different flowers.
SUGAR FLOWER BOOK REVIEW I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE BASICS OF SUGAR FLOWER MAKING AND WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE. ITS WELL WRITTEN AND GIVES DETAILED INSTRUCTION AND MANY FLOWERS TO MAKE THAT ARE HARD TO TELL FROM THE REAL THING. I LOVE IT.
