Sugar Glazing Flowers
1. Artificial Flowers
Step 1: Cut the stems from the flowers, approximately 1 ½ inches
from the base of the flowers and leaves.
Step 2: Cut a piece of floral wire at least 4 inch. (If you buy the
pre-cut ones, typically they are 6 inches which is fine.)
Step 3: Use floral tape to secure the flower to the new stem.
Step 4: After you have done this to all of the flowers and leaves,
place them all together and use floral tape to secure them in any
order you would like. (Tip: Do not place floral tape all the way
down the stems. Only place enough to secure the flowers, making sure
that the individual wires do not come out of the tape.

between your thumb and index finger. Once you have each flower where
you want it, cut the excess stems off of the flowers holding onto
the floral tape and not the flowers.

Tip 2: Make sure that the flowers do not have pesticides on them.
You can do this by picking them out of your own yard or just ask the
florist that you are purchasing them from. Typically florists have
sets of flowers that have never been treated for pesticides.

apply them to the cake directly before serving or showing it. If you
are adding stems, add them as soon as you get the flowers, place
them in baggies or an airtight container and freeze them until you
are ready to put them on the cake.

regular sugar in a second bowl.

to hold onto with your thumb and forefinger. (Tip: Make sure you are
using an edible flower for this.)
