What Are Gum Paste Sugar Flowers?​
​
" Delicate. Realistic. Completely edible".
​
Gumpaste sugar flowers are beautifully handcrafted floral decorations made from a pliable, edible sugar dough called gumpaste (or flower paste). This special medium is loved by cake artists for its ability to roll ultra-thin and hold intricate, lifelike shapes — making it perfect for creating realistic petals, leaves, and blossoms.
​
Our Special Recipe Gum paste...
​
We have come up with a specific recipe which is not as delicate as the traditional one , dries quickly but still soft and holds up very well in humidity . Gumpaste is soft and stretchy when fresh, but dries firm and light — allowing sugar artists to create botanical details that mimic real flowers in texture, shape, and even movement.
Unlike fondant or buttercream, gum paste allows you to:
​
-
Roll paper-thin petals and layer them gracefully
​
-
Vein leaves and textures with precision
​
-
Build multi-part flowers using floral wire and tape
​
-
Dust and paint each element for natural color variation
​​
-
Style entire arrangements that look fresh from the garden
