PME Professional Sugar Flowers Diploma
Upcoming Start Dates
All the pictures are ones taken of work completed by previous students – if they can do it, you can too! We hope you will feel inspired by their creations.
The sugar flowers diploma starts right at the beginning from how to choose your flower paste to what each of the modelling tools does, how to use floristry tape and how to choose your wires. At the start of the course we focus on basic techniques and unwired flowers (perfect for cupcakes) and then progress onto wired flowers and leaves.
Learn how to assemble your flowers into stunning arrangements and how to secure them to your cakes. None of the work is done on cakes, the whole emphasis is on learning how to create the flowers and foliage although your tutor will explain a variety of methods for including your flowers within your cake designs.
The course also includes discussion on aspects of business practice and creative styling essential to any cake decorator whose ambition it is to make and sell cakes or to work in the cake industry.

Linda was lovely. Made everything easy to understand and very helpful. Dummys should be included to take flowers home so they don't break. Would like to add honeysuckle! Thank you!

4.5 stars - the only bit I struggled with was keeping up... I think an extra day to spread the course out would be beneficial. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I have since made many beautiful sugar flowers. Annabelle is a wonderful tutor and she has a brilliant team who are all friendly and welcoming. I'm so glad I did the course. I’m looking forward to attending many more courses to further develop the skills gained.

I would definitely recommend the course if you’d like to learn about sugar flowers. You are shown how to make a variety of different flowers and different techniques which can then be applied to either making the same flowers or other flowers that may not have covered in the course. Having very little experience of making flowers (or about flowers in general) this was a great course to attend. There is a lot covered by the course and you get to experience with a lot of different techniques and also play with the cake decorating ‘toys’ that the shop offers. Lots of moulds, wires, great products and dusts, as well as steamer, glaze etc.. Annabelle has a wealth of experience, is very patient and answers all your questions. We were also lucky to have lovely Linda around who was really supportive and helpful.
