Wafer Paper Rose Tutorial

Why wafer paper? It's easy to work with, doesn't dry out and is inexpensive. It doesn't really have a taste but if you can use extract instead of water as "glue" to add some flavor. Thanks for looking!

What is wafer paper & where do you get it?

kadeebo 2/13/12 at 8:51am

Can this be air brushed after it is assembled, or would that much moisture ruin the shape of the individual buds?

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts! Wafer paper is sometimes called edible rice paper although the ones I've seen have been made from potato starch. It can be purchased at some boutique cake decorating stores or online at Chef Rubber. It can be airbrushed before or after cutting or assembly. A light hand and drying between coats should achieve just about any color you'd like. It doesn't have much taste but you can add a little interest by using extract or flavored vodka as your "glue" in place of wate...

This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you. What did you use to 'punch' out the circles?

kadeebo 2/13/12 at 4:46pm

Dstauch: thank you so much!!! I have one more question...how far in advance can these be made? Do they get stale or go bad?

DStauch 2/13/12 at 4:55pm

kdscalling: the punch that is shown in photo #1 - a 1.5" round but you can use any size round punch. Kadeebo: they can be made ages in advance! Their only enemy is moisture so if you keep them away from steam or splashes, they should be fine. I've had mine stored in the airtight ziploc bag they came in for at least 3 years and they are fine. The only thing that might go stale is the oil they are made with but my 3 year olds still taste the same as the day they arrived. Hope this helps!
