“SUGAR REFLECTIONS OF NATURE’S PERFECTION”

These are the slogan words I have used on my main website. This captivates everything I am trying to accomplish along my edible art journey. 
However, do you feel that certain levels of sugarcraft are unachievable or out of reach?

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW TO ADD IN THOSE PERFECT NATURAL FINISHING TOUCHES TO DRAMATICALLY ELEVATE YOUR SUGAR FLOWERS, GIVING YOU AN ENORMOUS SENSE OF PRIDE?

  • Does the very idea of knowing where and how to begin the colouring process fill you with dread? 
  • Have you struggled in the past giving natural movement to your work?
  • Have you always had a preconceived idea that natural-looking sugar flowers take an age to create?
Mother nature is so perfect because of her imperfections, be bold, add the flaws into your sugar craft, and watch your work come alive.

Everyone on the planet can reference and appreciate the magnificent beauty of mother nature.

 
I gladly share the exact products I use and how I turn a simple sugar petal or leaf into something visually extraordinary.

All of my working practices and techniques are easily adapted to other sugar flower projects.

  • I could teach you how to colour with confidence and provide information on how to achieve the best results.
  • I can explain the best way how to build up coloured tones and create different textures just by holding a paintbrush at different angles. 
  • You could work in a tidier more structured way, providing you with a calming and focused environment ensuring you achieve continual success.
  • I can show you how to work in a quicker, more commercially viable, and efficient way, ensuring maximum productivity.

I teach precise, methodical many steps; with practice and repetition, you'll be amazed at how quickly stunning results can be achieved.

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than trying to replicate mother nature herself, into an edible art form.

Robert has been a special friend to me for many years.  We first met when I visited him in London for a private Avalanche Rose class. 

I spent a thoroughly consuming couple of days learning a wealth of new skills and gained a whole new understanding of how to work with flower paste and dusting colours.

Robert’s knowledge of botany, which underpins everything he does with sugar flowers; is vast and he loves to share it all!

Robert has visited me to teach classes in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK on a regular basis.

The high quality throughout Robert’s videos has simply blown me away. His instructions are beautifully presented, making each lesson a joy to follow.

Robert employs a unique teaching style that keeps his students engaged, making it very enjoyable. I love the way he very calmly jokes while teaching to help students in remembering a specific technique or detail. There is never a dull moment when you are learning under the loving care of The Sugar Fox!!!

The wealth of information you take away from his classes is just unimaginable.

Robert is always there on hand for his students, encouraging them and supporting them through this sweet sugar journey. Robert is definitely a gem of a teacher. He is on my bucket list to attend an in-person class whenever he comes back to the US.

His classes are very addictive; you may find yourself binging for hours and hours… I may have a long way to go to become a flower master, but I will get there with Robert's help. I am now taking all of his online masterclasses.

Using the Right Tools For The Job!


The most important aspect of my craft is the actual flower paste (Sugar)

I have been incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to design my very own brand of flower paste developed especially for my exacting requirements, by Smartflex.
The paste we brought to market has the scent of fresh strawberries and performs like a dream…. I couldn't be happier with its incredible qualities.

Here comes the fun part bringing the sugar butterfly wings to life.

Using my fine handmade paint brush sets, I explain how to build up texture and depth by over dusting and pouncing techniques.

Final thoughts from me….

 

If you are wanting to elevate the standard and overall realistic appearance of your sugar flowers, then look no further… this isn't a job for me, it’s my Life…

 

I was showing one of my Italian student’s how to master one of my signature techniques, she turned around and said “you are sneaky like the Fox” I said "Anything is achievable in sugar"
And so, my nickname The Sugar Fox was born!
