I have been playing with wafer papers for about a month now and I am simply loving it! You can use it in so many ways to decorate cakes.
Here is a cake that I decorated with a very easy wafer flower. I gave it a bold look by drawing thick black outlines around the petals with a black marker.
You will need the following supplies:
White wafer paper
Pencil
Scissors
Big edible pearl
Black edible marker
Paintbrush
Corn syrup
Pink petal dust
Blue petal dust
These are the instructions:
Step 1:
Use a pencil to draw 6 big petals and 6 small petals on a sheet of wafer paper.
The drawings don’t have to be perfect.
Note: These days, pencils are non-toxic and many decorators use them in cake decorating. But, if you are uncomfortable using a pencil, you can use scissors to cut out these petal shapes free handedly.
Step 2:
Use scissors to cut out these petal shapes.
They don’t have to be cut out perfectly.
Step 3:
Dip your paintbrush in blue petal dust and color 3 big and 3 small petals blue.
Dip your paintbrush in pink petal dust and color 3 big and 3 small petals pink.
Step 4:
Outline all the petals with a black edible marker.
Make sure the outline is thick.
Step 5:
Brush very little corn syrup at one end of a blue petal and stick a pick petal there.
Step 6:
Continue sticking petals with corn syrup in a circular formation.
Step 7:
And you will end up with a big flower like this…
Step 8:
Now, brush very little corn syrup in the center of the big flower.
Stick a small blue petal here.
Then, stick the pink petal beside it.
Step 9:
And keep going until you have a small flower on top of your big flower.
Step 10:
Finally, brush a little corn syrup in the center of this flower and stick a big edible pearl or a big white sprinkle here.
And you are done!
Let the corn syrup dry up overnight and then use it to decorate your cakes.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
Happy caking everyone! 🙂
