Step-by-Step: Crafting Wafer Paper Cake Accents
-
Cut with Care: Trim wafer paper into petal-like shapes, delicate ruffles, or organic curves depending on your cake theme.
-
Shape Lightly: Gently fold or curve each wafer piece for a soft, sculpted effect. The paper’s flexibility is perfect for creating texture and movement.

Adhere Gently: Apply a fine line of Tastycrafts Edible Glue to the base of each wafer element, and attach to the cake surface in layered sequences for depth.
-
Add Subtle Enhancement: Dust edges or raised areas with luster powder or food colour dust to add dimension and visual intrigue.
-
Let It Set: Allow the design to dry wafer paper retains its structure and weightless look without drooping.
