Modern Sugar Flowers Volume 2: Fresh cake designs with contemporary gumpaste flowers

I thought that Jacqueline Butler's first book was excellent and this, her second volume, is even better if that is at all possible. It is a truly inspirational book on how to make and arrange modern, on trend sugar flowers for cakes. She includes her staples of hydrangea and filler flowers which she is very well known for and she shows us how to create several types of berries, 8 different styles of leaves and 16 beautiful new flowers and their greenery. There is also an entire section on how to arrange sugar flowers on cakes in 6 contemporary styles, and a great foundation lesson on how to prepare sugar flowers for arrangements. Very clever and so rarely seen in books of this type. The instructions are first class and the photography excellent. I love, love, love this book!

Love this book helpful in showing pictures as well as instructions on making beautiful sugarpaste flowers

Wonderful book by a great author. I love the pictures

Love this book! Just started sugarcraft and prefer this volume to the first one just because of the flowers it contains, although having the first volume gives greater variety. Super easy to follow steps with pictures, a must for beginners I’d say. Didn’t realise there were so many bits and bobs needed for making the flowers, but once you have the tools, you have them for life basically, so worth buying the right stuff at the get go.

I love this book asmuch as the first. Beautifully written and photographed. Very informative. Inspirational

Very nice book. Excellent photographs. Easy to understand and follow. Only problem I have found is trying to find the flower cutters within the UK. So will have to find an alternative manufacture of cutters. Plenty of projects and ideas to design your own floral bouquets.

Beautiful book and easy to follow..recommended

Quite simply the best sugar floristry book I have ever had - this is a masterpiece!
