Easy and bold wafer paper flower tutorial

easy and bold wafer paper flower tutorial 04

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.

Let the corn syrup dry up overnight and then use it to decorate your cakes.
