Will try the Stiffen Quick. What have you found to be the issue with Sugar Petals? I have yet to try them.

I didn't particularly like the shape of the sugar petals cups. Plus, I found it difficult to get them aligned properly. That was a couple of years ago, and I have alot more experience now with bra-making so it might be easier. I find it easier to take a ready made bra and beef up the structure than to take anything apart and re-build it (or in the case of sugar petals - build it from the ground up).
One idea that I also had that haven't tried yet is to use the bra cups they sell at fabric/craft stores that are meant to go inside swimsuits or evening wear. I found some cups that are really stiff and I thought if I sewed them inside a ready-made bra, that it would really stiffen up the bra cups quickly and easily. I purchased a set, but haven't tried that idea out yet.
