Welcome to Designs in Sugar...

My name is Myra Govea de Arce. I am a self-taught sugar artist specializing in floral sugarcraft. Sugarcraft uses a sugar dough called gumpaste (aka: sugarpaste or petal paste) as "raw material." With gumpaste one can fashion figurines, flower petals, or almost anything that can be made with ceramic or porcelain. The main distinction is that anything made with gumpaste is edible.

      Brides often order flower arrangements to adorn their wedding cakes. With sugar flowers these arrangements become a long-lasting memento of this major event in their lives. Additionally, sugar flowers are custom gifts that may be specially made for the mother, aunts, bridal attendants, and other important people as tokens of appreciation from the bride.

      Weddings are not the only occasions that demand special attention to the edible centerpiece of the event. Anniversaries, birthdays, quinceañeros, and graduations also require the cake to fully represent the uniqueness of the moment. Consider my services for any special times when only the best will do for your cake. Please browse through the photo gallery. Notice the attention to detail that characterizes my work. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you to make your special occasion cake as beautiful as it can become!
