We appreciate Petya Shmarova's teaching in July and plan to schedule her next visit in 2024. Stay tuned for updates.

Petya Shmarova is a Sugarcrafter from Bulgaria. She is an author, judge, international teacher, demonstrator and multiple award winner. Her book "Wafer Paper Flowers" was published in 2016 and was the first book covering how to create realistic-looking flowers from wafer paper. She has been working with gumpaste, cold porcelain, royal icing and sugerpaste, but her true love and passion are Wafer Paper. She is creating the Wafer Paper flowers in a unique style and way, being the first to start the realistic trend in wafer paper flowers. That edible material is turning into a very trendy one in cake decorating.

Petya has articles published in The British Sugarcraft Guild Newsletter, Cakes and Sugarcraft and Cake Decoration. She is an accredited tutor and demonstrator for leading UK Cake Decoration Companies such as Patchwork Cutters and PME. Petya has sat on the judging panel for the sugar flowers category of London and Birmingham Cake International Competitions 2019 and demonstrated and judged for Virtual Events – Cake International, Cake Fiesta Manila 2020/2021. During the past years, she has taught classes in the UK, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Germany, Turkey, Romania, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Dubai, Brazil, India, Hong Kong, and Bulgaria. You can see more of Petya's works on her Facebook page.
