sugar flowers

Edible floral ornaments

Sugar flowers are decorative edible flowers made from sugar paste, fondant, or gum paste, used primarily to adorn cakes and other confections.

They range from simple blossoms to intricate replicas of real flowers like roses, peonies, and orchids.

Creating realistic sugar flowers is a specialized skill in cake decorating: The wedding cake was crowned with handmade sugar flowers.
