Future dates to be confirmed.

Robert has curated a 3-day sugar flower course that includes crafting Flame Gloriosa Lily, Nigella Flower (Love in the Mist) and Frangipani – Plumeria. The course aims to enhance the knowledge and experience of sugar flower crafting. Robert will generously share and teach the techniques to the students, leveraging his expertise, knowledge, and attention to detail. His passion for sugar flower crafting is evident, and the class will cover how to cut petals and leaves to achieve lifelike results. These techniques can be applied to any sugar flower or leaf.

Additionally, the class will explore various techniques for using edible colouring and applying it to intricately textured petals, leaves, and unopened buds. Robert advises wearing light-coloured clothing during the class to minimize the risk of lint or fibres staining the sugar paste. He also recommends removing jewellery before the class begins.
