After the success of the Spring Jewels Workshop, I’m excited to announce some new London workshop dates for May! Entitled “Late Spring Pastels” this group sugar flower workshop will encapsulate an abundance of pretty flowers that emerge in the garden towards the end of Spring.

What sugar flowers will you be teaching?

I will be teaching 5 new flowers:

Vintage Reflexed Rose – this is a variation on my Quick Reflexed Rose – equally as speedy but with a slightly different petal formation plus gorgeous vintage colouring.

Oriental Poppy – the most delicate crinkled petals, a large detailed pistil and black brushstrokes give these poppies their distinctive features.

Clematis Montana – a vigorous climber with soft pink/mauve petals. So quick to make and a wonderful filler for arrangements.

Peony “Lemon Chiffon” – I’ll admit, when it comes to yellow, I’m not usually a fan. But there’s something about the delicate creaminess of this peony that I adore and it pairs so well with the other pastels.

Sweet Pea “Mammoth Lavender Blue” – sweet peas are always a favourite of mine. I’m a huge fan of this oversized frilly variety with wavy lavender blue petals. Another quick and easy filler flower for cakes.

When is the workshop?

The Late Spring Pastels Sugar Flower Workshop will take place on Wednesday 14th-Thursday 15th May 2025 in my studio in South East London. It will be a 2 day workshop allowing us plenty of time to cover all of the flowers in depth. A 2 day class is also advantageous to allow drying time for the petals and plenty of time for dusting and assembly. Each day the class will start promptly at 9:45am and will finish between 4pm and 5pm.

What’s included in a Group Sugar Flower Workshop?

All tools and materials needed to make your flowers over the 2 days will be provided. You don’t need to bring anything with you and there is no need to take notes! After the workshop, you will receive access to an online class with step-by-step videos for each of the flowers to enable you to practice at home. Each class also has its own cheat sheets with links to the tools required and written instructions to serve as a memory prompt.

A light lunch and refreshments will also be provided. Please advise of any dietary requirements or allergies when booking your place.

How many places are available?

My group workshops are taught with a maximum group size of 4 students. This enables me to give each student plenty of 1-1 help, feedback and the opportunity to ask questions.

Who is this class suitable for?

The class is suitable for all levels, although a basic knowledge of sugar flowers is preferable.

How much is the class and how do I book?

The group sugar flower workshop is priced at £495 for the 2 days. Places are bookable by contacting The Botanical Cake Studio directly. Get in touch to book your place here!
