Wedding Cake Flowers that Look Real – Artist Teaches Her Cake Decoration Flower Art Secrets

November 12, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Glendale, CA – Wedding cake flower decorations and sugar flowers used for decorating cakes that look delicate and real are becoming more and more popular.

Kaye Hartman of Petal Crafts, LLC now shares her secrets to help people who want to learn the art of making these beautiful wedding cake flowers that look delicate and real.

Hartman has been making the realistic wedding cake flower decorations individually by hand for eight years. Demand for her sugar flower art grew rapidly as wedding counselors and planners became aware of her skills, so she expanded her company and hired artists to help her.

The demand has grown so high that she is actively teaching others the secrets to her art through local classes and using instructional videos on DVD.

“There's nothing in the market that is even close to the details that we put in all the sugar flowers that my company makes. Every flower is unique because each flower is 100 percent handmade. All the petals are molded, veined and colored one by one,” explained Hartman.

Each flower can take up to six hours to make, depending on how many petals there are in it. Each finished flower is a unique work of art made entirely of sugar, yet they look real.

These are not just simple flowers commonly seen on a store bought cake. The flowers from Petal Crafts, LLC are intricate and delicate. The web site at http://www.PetalCrafts.com offers photos of every flower imaginable, including roses, orchids, lillies, poppies, tulips and many others.

The course of instruction offered by Hartman at the company offices at 3715 Market St., Suite 110 in Glendale not only include how to make the flowers, the classes also include everything needed to go into the lucrative business of making wedding cakes.

“The demand is high, and it is a great opportunity for individuals to go into business for themselves. The average wedding cake sells for $1,200 and has a cost to make of about $350, so that means one cake gives a profit of $850. The need for people who can make these cakes and flowers is very high, so there is room for many people to start this fun business,” said Hartman.

Members of the public and the media are invited to come to a free demonstration of sugar flower art creation. For demonstration dates and times please call 818-249-2460.
