I have taken the time to write a few words about WHY these clases made it to my favorite list. Enjoy!

If somebody asked me one day, you can only have ONE favorite female cake designer in the world, who would it be?, I would answer without hesitation: "Maggie Austin"!!!
I believe that this artist is the ultimate sugar artist, and I adore everything she does...so maybe, your will find these lines biased. You have been warned!
​WHAT I LEARNED FROM THESE CLASSES: That sugar flower making has to be liberating, not constraining. I understood from her that you -the artist- is in charge. Make your own petal shapes; shape the flowers however you want and DO NOT rely on fancy tools. I adored her approach to flower making and left the class inspired to do my best sugar work possible.

Now, if I were asked who is my favorite male cake designer, I would have to say Ron Ben Israel. I probably would faint if I ever meet him in person. James Roselle used to work with Ron, and I see SO MUCH of Ron's aesthetic in him! The best part is, that James has developed his own style...which I find simply stunning.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THESE CLASSES: That sugar flower making is about composition. James beautifully illustrates in his classes how to make and compose statement flowers that work beautifully by themselves or as part of a whole. I have certainly incorporated some of his philosophy into my own, and I own that to his classes.

Jackeline's class "Handcrafted Sugar Flowers" was the first online class that I ever took. I was just marveled by the beauty she could create...and how easy she made it look!. Even though my own personal flower making style is different to hers, I SO very much admire her work!
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THESE CLASSES: That learning to make sugar flowers is a progressive acquisition of skills. That all you have to do is jump in and enjoy the process! I also learned her "production line" approach to flower making, and that is something that I have fully incorporated to every aspect of my work and my business.

When it comes to sugar flower making, NOBODY is more knowledgeable that Nicholas Lodge. Period. His proprietary gum paste recipe changed my flower making experience, and is to date the only gum paste recipe I make.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THESE CLASSES: Discipline and strive for Excellence, and Structure. His classes are comprehensive, and I always left the class empowered to jump in and try my best following his proven methodologies to achieve success.

I hope that you enjoy these classes as much as I did!. Happy flower making!
