Eating flowers might sound weird, unless we're talking about sugar flowers. Melbourne-based Michelle Nguyen is among the most decorated confectionery artists who specializes in creating them, and you can probably see why. Her sugar flowers are so realistic that it's hard to tell them apart from real ones.
When studying her works, one can appreciate that all of the details of a flower look excellent, as the leaves, petals, the blossoms, and the colors are all as impeccable and life-like as the fondant medium and a little food paint can make them. Michelle makes a diverse variety of flowers too: even though roses are among the most popular, she also creates fantastic peonies, tulips, poppies, lisianthas, orchids, and many other beautiful species of flowers.
It's no wonder why her art is so appreciated: Nguyen has received awards for Best Australian Sugar Florist from ACDN, and the ACADA 2019 Australasian Sugar Floral Artist of the Year, and she is among the best sugar-molding artists in the world. When Nguyen isn't travelling or making commissions, she teaches others the secrets of her art.

The work in these is unbelievable! They look like if you touch them, they will fall apart.
If I never saw the title, I would just assume someone was photographing flowers!
Beyond beautiful, and what amazing talent. Still trying to pick jaw off floor.
WHAT HOW?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????????????????//
oooooooh my favorites were: 1-76! yep. ALL. OF. THEM. were my favorites!
I cannot believe these are not real flowers, they look so realistic!
My wife and I have been growing roses over the past 40+ years, on and off, in both northern and southern climates in the US. I can assure you that all of the colors seen here are authentic and represent actual rose blossoms that exist in both private and public gardens. Not every cultivar remains popular, and some fade into obscurity over time, but if you like what you see here, you can find these if you seek them out. (Yes, rose bushes are expensive these days.)
The skeptic in me wants to see it done on video... the sugar freak keeps telling her to stfu and eat one!
My Dentist makes sugar decorations. All kinds: flowers, animals, castles. His favs are Halloween things. ... It's amazing, but considering what he does for my teeth and others teeth, it's not that all surprising. Such agility in his hands, perfect control. I swear Dentists are part magic.
