Don't get me wrong - they are still a huge favorite, and I still love making them...and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to teach them to so many lovely students all over the world!
The classic and original Petalsweet peony in white:
But recently I have been inspired to play around with how I create the petals and put them together, as well as experimenting with more color...there are quite a few gorgeous varieties of peonies out there, and I'm hoping to be able to capture a few of them in sugar (with a bit of luck and practice)...and thought I'd share some of my progress with you!
Here's the first bit of work with a peachy-toned peony with more of a ruffled edge on the petals...
Bare petals ready for color:
A bit of peach and pink petal dust:
The basic shape to the finished flower is similar, but a little more round, and the petals have a bit more of a romantic and feminine feel...and I love the soft peach and pink tones against the pop of yellow in the stamens. It's a subtle difference, but I really like it...and it's a move in the right direction for something new:
More coming soon...thanks so much for stopping by! x

What cutters do u use may i ask
Hi Kandeel...I use a peony cutter set I designed for my flowers and will have it available for sale in the near future. When I first started making them I used the set by Sunflower Sugar Art. Nicholas Lodge has a pretty new set too if you are going to be looking online. Jacqueline

Is there a online tutorial available for this flower
Hello , is there a tutorial available for this flower , loved your craftsy one
Hello Ifrah..we do not have a tutorial for our peonies yet, but hopefully soon! Thank you!
Good morning! I have been periodically looking to see when and where your classes for the peony were to be scheduled. Any news?
Hi Valery...thanks so much for your interest our peony classes. At this point I rarely teach the peony anymore due to the fact that I taught it for several years already and it's just not a popular class flower anymore. Having said that, I hope to offer it in video or PDF form in the near future. Thank you! Jacqueline
