I feel so honored to have been invited to participate in this collaboration of outstanding sugar artists from around the world. Check out my latest creation along with all the other outstanding garden inspired pieces. https://www.facebook.com/gardensoftheworldcakes?fref=ts

Gardens of the World is a “Chelsea Flower Show” inspired international cake collaboration featuring 26 outstanding, award winning and celebrated cake artists from all over the world. Our common theme was “Gardens of the World.” We have created sugar art celebrating the beauty of English, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish Gardens.

My piece was inspired by my father’s collection of gnomes and his passion of gardening and flowers. Garden gnomes have been around since the late 18th century and can be found wherever gardening is considered a serious hobby. The tree stump and roots are made using a tutorial from Ciccio Cakes (with a few changes of my own) and the fondant mushrooms add a woodsy feel. The gnome is carved from RKT with details in fondant. The precious, little butterfly was the final touch and is made from wafer paper.
