Carolyn Wanke Mangold In 1969 a Wilton Catalog came into Carolyn’s life and her passion for sugar art began. She began taking classes and going to cake shows, one of which was the 1976 Michigan Show where ICES was born. During this time, she was very active in ICES, of which she is a Charter Member, and served as State Representative, Board Member, Vice President, and President. She has taken classes in (and still enjoys) the “old” techniques such as Lambeth, Nirvana, Australian, and South African. She also finds it gratifying to use techniques such as cake sculpting and construction, forming and arranging gumpaste flowers, designing cake stands (such as my Cowboy Boot Cake Stand).

Class Description: Many, many, many years ago I attended a class in which we took a strip of florist ribbon, folded, wired, and taped it to form a flower petal. (Various petals can be formed depending on the way the ribbon is folded.) Like petals were then grouped together with stamens to form flowers. It had always been my wish to reproduce these flowers in gumpaste. In this class we will learn how.

Instructor will demonstrate: instructions to make the various petals; instructions to assemble petals and stamens to form the various flowers; instructions to adapt these techniques to form gumpaste flower petals. Students will make: at least 1 petal for each of five flowers; at least 1 of each petal in gumpaste. Instructor will furnish materials to make one of each type flower: florist ribbon, stamens, florist tape, wire, gumpaste, wax paper, box to take home. Supplies students can bring: Scissors, wire cutters, craft blade or small plastic cutter.

Each participant will work on 6 unique cookies that could (at home) be put together to create a unique, edible "Cookie Art Box". They would also receive a custom "Creative Journal" that contained the recipes I used, instructions and patterns to make the box, as well as space to journal their own future creations.
