Frances McNaughton demonstrates sugar fairies and making sugarcraft flowers the soft way, and provides workshops to branches of the British Sugarcraft Guild, National Sugarart Association and other sugarcraft clubs. She holds regular classes at her studio in Tunbridge Wells in many aspects of Sugarcraft.
Frances McNaughton's simple fairies are made using sugarpaste, candy sticks and fudge with themes such as blossoms, stars, dancing, Christmas and fairy cakes.-Cakes & Sugarcraft We've all heard of the sugar plum fairy, but here are twenty sugar fairies to enliven your cakes and make your celebration tables look stunning. There are some truly lovely projects in this book, mostly suitable for those fairly new to sugarpaste modelling but with a few slightly more challenging ones as well. There is no recipe for sugarpaste in here, but you can buy it ready made and of course for a longer-lasting fairy there are lots of polymer and air-drying clays around as well. Most occasions are covered, including christening, wedding, Christmas, birthdays and, of course, lots of flower fairies. There is a tooth fairy complete with toothbrush, ballerina fairy, princess fairy and they don't all have to be white either - how about a chocolate fairy?! Photographs of the individual pieces are shown so you know what your shapes should look like prior to assembly, and all the materials and tools needed for each project are listed. As with all these Twenty to Make series books, the instructions are brief, but easy to follow and the finished item gives plenty of clues too as to what goes where and why. If you are a total tyro at sugarcraft you will need to invest in a few tools and cutters before tackling anything but you are warned about this at the beginning, and none of the items listed are too unusual or expensive. All in all, a delightful book that reminded me what fun this craft can be.-Myshelf.com (Reviewed with "Polymer Clay Bears" ISBN 9781844485048) Each book has 20 small, very cute projects on the theme of bears or fairies. Although the bears are made in polymer clay they could easily be made in sugar just like the fiaries. Good value for money.-Cake Craft & Decoration Want to make the absolute cutest cupcakes or cakes for a fairy or woodland themed party?
