Brain training has become a multimillion-dollar industry. But if you want to improve your memory, don't waste your time and money on brain games. You'd be better off learning how to quilt.

Spring is HERE and Roses are in BLOOM!
When I was first starting to learn about gumpaste flowers, I had the lucky opportunity to study under sugar-art master Nicholas Lodge for 3 days at Sugar 'n Spice in Daly City, California. He is the gold standard for sugar flowers. He teaches you the proper way to make detailed, unbelievably life-like flowers. From there, you can decide how detailed you want to make your own creations. But you will leave with the knowledge of what is possible in gumpaste! I highly recommend his class on sugar ROSES:

Whether you're a budding cake artist or a pastry pro, your sugar rose skills will blossom under Nicholas Lodge's guidance.
