Our SOLD OUT 2026 Sugarcraft Skills Weekend showcased the incredible talents of Cassie Brown! A celebrated sugarcraft author, airbrush artist, flower maker, tutor, judge, and designer, Cassie has been inspiring and teaching others for over three decades.

Over the weekend, we created a floral spray featuring cosmos, lisianthus, and forsythia flowers, paired with complementary foliage, while also learning new airbrushing techniques.
