In Part 2 of our Winter Foliage series, Chef Nicholas Lodge, an expert in floral arrangements and cake decorating, takes us further into the art of creating stunning winter foliage. Building on the foundations laid in Part 1, this instalment focuses on the crucial steps of assembly and colouring.
Watch as Chef Lodge skillfully assembles the crafted tulip leaves into a bow, English boxwood, and spruce elements ready for a floral display. He then demonstrates how to bring these pieces to life with expert coloring techniques, showcasing how the right hues and shades can transform air drying clay into lifelike foliage.
Cake decorators will find these methods especially useful, as the same coloring principles can be applied to sugar paste, enabling you to create festive cake decorations that truly capture the essence of the season.
Join us in this exciting second part as we complete our journey in winter foliage creation, perfecting the art of assembly and colouring to achieve a stunning final display. Get ready to enhance your skills and infuse your crafts with the magic of winter's natural beauty!
