Top tips on how to add colour to Sugarpaste flowers using ProPowder:

ProPowder are the perfect way to bring sugar flowers to life. They add depth, shading, and realism that you can’t achieve with plain coloured sugarpaste alone.

Start with dry flowers

• Make sure your sugarpaste flowers are fully set and dry before dusting, otherwise the powder may clump.

Pick your colours

• Choose one or two shades slightly darker than your flower base colour.
• Add a lighter or contrasting shade for highlights or depth.

Load your brush

• Dip the brush into the dust, then tap off the excess onto kitchen paper.
• It’s better to build colour gradually than apply too much at once.

Apply shading

• Brush colour gently from the edges of the petals inward for a natural look.
• Use darker tones near the centre or base of petals for depth.

Blend softly

• Use clean, dry brushes to soften and blend colours together.
• Layer shades until you’re happy with the effect.

Add highlights & detail

• Use lighter powders (like Shimmer Dust) on the petal tips for a lifelike glow.
• For bolder effects, mix dust with Rejuvenator Spirit to create edible paint and add fine details.
