How do you make roses that look good enough not to eat? There was a workshop for local ladies, explaining how to make the most beautiful sugar craft roses.
The teacher used a pastellage - from a recipe she made herself and which she gives to her crafters.
The completed rose in a dusky apricot hue, complete with leaves, stem and bud looked real enough not to eat, as onlookers observed.
She said: "Sugar is very forgiving - you don't have to stress." Crafters can squish it up and start again. Like playdough for adults. "It is very therapeutic."
