"Sugarcrafter superstar Dunn shares his secrets for crafting tropical and exotic flowers from sugar. An invaluable guide for ambitious cake decorators and designers." --"Library Journal"
Product Description
In this stunning new book renowned sugarcrafter Alan Dunn turns his attention to tropical and exotic flowers. Bolder, more stunning and more fantastic, these beautiful flowers are guaranteed to create a real impact whether used on a cake or as a decorative arrangement. The designs include many species of orchid, rhizomes, gingers, heliconias, bird of paradise, anthurium, bougainvillea and many more. This title gives a comprehensive introduction covering all the essential information on materials, tools, techniques and basic recipes that is followed by a section taking each featured cake in turn. For each cake, easy-to-follow instructions are given on how to construct and build-up individual flowers, foliage and fruit and then how to arrange these individual elements into an arrangement that can be used either to decorate a cake or on its own as a table centrepiece, for example. Finally, instructions are given on how to make each cake and secure the arrangement, if you choose to use it in this way. If you're looking for the ultimate guide to making exotic and tropical sugar flowers, this book won't fail to impress.

Format:Hardcover
Another lovely book from the talented Alan Dunn. This beautifully laid out book is a delight to look at - let along use!
Following the introduction there are 8 pages detailing equipment, materials, recipes and techniques.
Fifteen arrangements are shown together with details of how to make the 38 different flowers and foliage that are used.
As always, everything is in full colour.
The illustrated descriptions of making these exotic blooms are very easy to follow and very tempting.
The book concludes with pages of templates and a list of suppliers.
I recommend this book be added to your Alan Dunn collection without delay.

Tropical & Exotic Flowers
A great book with some really stunning flowers, and good detail in how to make them. I find Alan frustrating sometimes when the colours he suggests cannot be bought in the UK.
