Hello, guys

"Today I lost my Cake HERO the delightful Sylvia Weinstock.

Even though I never got the chance to meet her in person. To me, she was a teacher, visionary artist, and master confectioner who helped to inspire me to become the cake designer I am today.

I fell in love with Sylvia's presentation of sugar flowers many years before I even dreamt of making one. When I finally did, I wanted to meet her, to thank her in person.

So, on my last week spent in New York, I visited her cake studio.I remembered her greeting room being small and welcoming. On the walls were articles of her famous cakes and favorite celebrities. Standing regal and yet artfully adorning the room were her display cakes, in delicate shades of pastels and beautifully crafted edible sugar flowers.

I left her studio feeling focused on how to create my own Sage Delights Wedding cakes in Jamaica. And though I did not get to see her, I promised her assistant, who was so pleasant, that I would return when Sylvia Weinstock was back in town. Sadly, I never got that chance..

Sometimes our 'Blessings' come unannounced, through a warm hello or a simple Twitter-like from someone we admire. R.I.P my cake Hero."

How To Choose The Right Sugar Flowers To Decorate Your Wedding Cake

One of my top tips when making sugar flowers for a wedding cake is to know your flowers and their meaning.  The other tip is to have a clear understanding  of what ideas and symbolism the engaged couple want to convey on their wedding cake to their guests.

If your wedding theme is Opulence and your wedding colours are deep blue, royal blue, plum and black.  Consider using roses that express these meanings and which compliments these colours

The BLUE RIVER (Top Left) and BOBBY CHARLTON (bottom Left), are excellent sugar flowers to decorate your wedding cake.  Blue River roses are quite attractive and unusual in shade - they carry a pale lavender centre with crimson shading all along the edges of the petals, they also carry a sumptuous scent. My new favourite, is the BOBBY CHARLTON, so beautiful, The rose petals are pink with slightly paler, silver-pink shades on the back of the longer petals.  They are known for their size - and elegance in the foliage of their petals, an excellent choice for romantic cakes.
