Sugarpaste Tiger Lily

Ok, so everyone has sworn off sugar - at least until Easter. (How's that working for you?!)
So, I'll spare you a new recipe and instead share a sugar flower I made recently - something exotic and tropical; fitting for these sticky summer days.
:o)

Making wired flowers is something I rarely do, and in fact I'd never made a tiger lily before; turns out it's not very complicated. And although we were taught the mantra "see one, do one, teach one" in med school - that applied to things like spinal taps and bone marrow biopsies; not technical stuff like making sugar flowers ;o)
So I'm not going to teach you how to make a tiger lily, I'll point you in the direction of some experienced artists instead :
