Hi everyone I have a question I bought the rice paper and have used it only 3 times it seems like my rice paper won't dissolve for some reason and tends to wrinkle when dissolving I've tried smoothing with my finger but it smears the colors and heck I don't know what to make of it anyone has any tips on how to do this? by the way I use only whipped cream for my cakes no buttercream.
Thanks for your replies!

Rice/wafer paper does this...wrinkles and crumples especially when it's used on whipped cream. It never really dissolves completely either like frosting sheets do. I'd say to use frosting sheets but those can't be used on whipped cream either. You might be able to put the rice/wafer paper image onto a fondant plaque and use it that way.

So far all I have used is wafer paper, it doesn't dissolve completely (I wish it did). Once I run out of sheets I think I will try the frosting sheets. Anyway...the place were I ordered the wafer paper said that you CANNOT put the wafer/rice paper on whipped cream icing, there is too much water content and all it will to is wrinkle and run. I use the buttercream and wait until right before it starts to crust a little. I still have a problem with a little wrinkling but the longer the cake sits it seems to smooth itself. HTH
