Sugar Sweet

It’s an age-old method most commonly seen on croquembouche, a French pastry crafted from a tall cone of profiteroles filled with pastry cream. Then it’s carefully garnished with a curtain of spun sugar, often made from sugar, corn syrup and beeswax.



But the garnish isn’t reserved just for the fancy French cakes; it can be on yours, too! In fact, there’s a number of ways that sugar can be used as a decorative element on your cake—and we’re not talking frosting.



This cake features blown sugar, which emulates bubbles or blown glass. It’s a delicate touch for a beautiful, yet slightly whimsical, cake.



These beautiful tiers are, ahem, sugar coated with tiny crystals for a unique frosted effect. (Pardon the pun, we couldn’t resist!)



Handspun sugar flowers are the main attraction here, in a striking contrast to the white cake. Delicate and unique, the tiny touches make a big statement.



To add that extra special touch of “sweet,” serve cotton candy at your wedding for fun favors or on a dessert bar with other yummy treats.
