​ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Petya Shmarova and I'm a Sugarcrafter based in Sofia, Bulgaria. I am an

author of the book "Wafer Paper Flowers" published in 2016 which was the first book

covering how to create realistic-looking flowers from wafer paper. I'm as well an international

teacher, demonstrator and multiple awards winner from International Cake Exhibitions. I'm

working with Gumpaste, Cold porcelain, Royal Icing and Sugar paste, but my true love and

passion is Wafer paper. I'm creating the Wafer paper flowers in a unique style and way, being the first to start that realistic trend in wafer paper flowers. That edible material is turning into a very trendy one in Cake Decorating at the moment.

Accredited tutor and demonstrator for leading UK Cake Decoration Companies - Patchwork Cutters and Knightsbridge PME.
