About

SugarVeil Story

Michele Hester is an internationally regarded dessert artisan, inventor, and innovator who has been inspiring and empowering dessert artists around the world for over twenty years. She invented and patented the award-winning SugarVeil® Confectionery Icing, the world’s first and foremost spreadable, delectable lace product in 2001 and she pioneered the use of spreadable lace with intricately detailed silicone mats which created a completely new market category.

Michele has taught SugarVeil Icing and lace techniques to thousands of pastry and cake artists around the world, from master chef to beginner.

What is SugarVeil

SugarVeil is a dry mix. After you add water and beat it a few minutes, you enter a place where cake and dessert decorations have never gone before: Incredibly delicate lace, for example, or monograms that look sculpted. Or a cascade of dots you can make in a flash, all rounded to perfection. Even an amazingly paper-thin ‘fabric’ you can gather into waves.

Made from fresh, natural ingredients – delicious flavor!
No artificial additives/preservatives/colorants or corn syrup
Gluten free, dairy free
Freezes wonderfully – great for frozen cakes
Place onto buttercream, chocolate, fondant, whipped icings

Michele Hester invented SugarVeil – the icing and the company – so that cake and dessert artists at every level, novice to professional, could realize the complete range of their artistic vision.

SugarVeil Brides

Why a gown of icing? Before the innovation of SugarVeil Icing , cake decorations were rigid, had to all be painstakingly, meticulously piped by hand, and were not especially flavorful. What better way to show good-tasting SugarVeil Icing’s flexible nature than a model wearing it and moving around a gallery for hours?

Wedding cakes and an edible SugarVeil bridal gown premiered at silversmith artist Robyn Nichols’ annual exhibition in Kansas City, Missouri, demonstrating the icing’s flexibility and the many innovative textures possible by smoothing onto a flat surface to make “fabric” you can cut into pattern pieces, spreading onto Confectionery Mats to quickly produce intricate design motifs, stenciling to make appliqués that attach with a tiny bit of moisture, combing into lines with the Confectioners’ Comb , or applied with the SugarVeil AirPen Piping Dispenser . It was inspiring to culinary professionals and created a buzz.

Except for the train of netting, the entire dress was made of SugarVeil and was entirely edible.

A subsequent gown was created for the National Restaurant Association annual conference in Chicago, with gloves of stenciled SugarVeil appliqués, stocking seams, hair ornaments, a bridal bouquet of roses, ribbons, and ruffles of SugarVeil, and a bridal veil using the Dot Veil Mat.
