sugarcraft
Sweet decorative art
Sugarcraft is the art of creating decorative items from sugar-based materials—fondant, gum paste, royal icing, and pulled or blown sugar.
The craft produces flowers, figurines, and ornamental pieces for cakes and confections.
Professional sugarcraft requires techniques borrowed from sculpture and painting: She spent hours on the sugarcraft roses for the wedding cake.
