TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR BUSINESS ? Hi I ’ m Elizabeth , owner of Sweet Sugar Creations . I ’ m a very passionate fondant figurine decorator . My dream began from when I was watching Cake Booss when I was little . I got so inspired from Ralph ( fondant sculpture artist ) who was making the sculptures and figurines in fondant / modelling chocolate . From that moment I started making little objects from coloured clay , I knew that I was wanting to be a figurine sculpture artist .
Years passed when I was in high school and I did a cake decorating course , which taught me on making gumpaste flowers . Lockdown come in 2020 , made it impossible for everyone but for me it opened a new door for me that lead to where I am today with my business . I then began making my first fondant figurine topper which was a mickey mouse ! ( Fun fact when I started my business officially my first order was a mickey mouse !)
From making the mickey mouse , I began to continue with making more other characters . I showed my friends , family the creations that I made and saw that I had potential on starting my very own small business with the fondant figurine toppers . From that year on I ’ ve loved every minute on what I ’ ve done with making my customer vision come to life but most of all see their children ’ s faces light up with excitement when they see the final product !
WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION FOR YOUR DESIGNS ? Myself I don ’ t find inspiration , my customers come to me with a style topper that they would like for me to make . Some customers customise the toppers to their own style and colour scheme suited to their liking .
