Description

Featured in Vogue Paris, US, Taiwan and Germany for her amazing designs, Jiahn Kang-the owner of Brooklyn Floral Delight-has some of the most incredible and stunningly real buttercream flowers, cacti and succulents we have ever seen. While the final product looks like it would be difficult to achieve, anyone can do it when it's broken down into Jiahn's simple steps. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes a relaxing, meditative craft similar to watercolor painting or knitting. Jiahn hosts sold-out workshops at her bakery, where she teaches her students how to mix colors, create flowers and greenery, and arrange everything on a cake or cupcake. All of her knowledge is translated into 25 projects, with over 100 step-by-step photos. Readers will learn how to make roses, peonies, mums, greenery, various cacti, succulents and more. She also includes three cake base recipes and two buttercream recipes to make sure readers have the perfect foundation. Whether you are new to baking or are an advanced baker, everyone will love creating the beautiful, approachable designs in Stunning Buttercream Flowers.
