Here are a few photos from the other day when I was putting some peonies together. These large flowers were made with quite a few petals, and had pretty yellow stamens in the center.
Here are the pieces that make up the pistil:
The stamens added:
Lots of peony petals ready to be taped together into flowers:
The finished product...I just love these:
And a little bouquet I put together to top a small tier...something fresh and sweet to celebrate a good friend:
Thanks so much for stopping by...Happy New Year!

I just took a class on Southern Flowers (sugarpaste) with Ron Ben Israel, because I was so inspired by you. Thank you for your Blog. Question: where do you get the stamens for the peonies shown on your site? I will be in San Diego next month on the 3rd at about 4 pm your time, do you offer any classes that day? Tracey
i really adore the finishing touch. it's flawless and would be a very nice Valentine day flowers gift in February.
Thank you so much everyone!
Tracey - you can buy stamens online...try NY Cake, Beryls, and sugarcraft.com. I'm sorry I do not have any San Diego classes scheduled for the first weekend of February as I am already booked for another commitment. Thank you! Jacqueline
Your flowers are just amazing and your work is so inspirational. You truly are a very talented artist. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
I love your work! You inspire me!
Your flowers are beautiful! What incredible talent to make something that looks so real!
You are amazing! Where can I buy your peony cutters and other cutters? I'm learning hydrangea using your tutorials. Thank you so much - you are very generous with sharing your talent. Hope to take your class someday.
Hi Carol,
Thank you so much - sorry for the delay in responding! My peony cutters will be available soon - and I will post information here and on my FB page. Sunflower Sugar Art makes a lot of great cutters - you can find them on their website or check Global Sugar Art too. Jacqueline
