It's Spring!

"I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. " ~Ruth Stout


Spring is my favorite time of year and tulips are my favorite spring flower.  These breathtaking tulip sugar flowers were created by member Mercedes. Mercedes has been designing cakes for almost three years and learned how to create the gumpaste flowers at a class taught by Juan Arache, Sugar Room.

Has anyone taken classes at the Sugar Room and if so, would you recommend them?

Hi!

I have not taken any classes at Sugar Room yet. I admire the level of skill but it's a bit far for me to travel - Manhattan is easier. So, I don't have any first hand knowledge but several members of NYC Cake Decorators have taken classes at Sugar Room. And I will tell you what they said:

Juan Arache is a master cake designer. You will learn from him if you are great a following directions exactly.

Before you sign up to take a class, ask what supplies need to be purchased or if the class price is all inclusive, [Sugar Room also has a retail cake supply shop] so you know the real price of taking the class.

Hope this helps!
