AWARD-WINNING CAKE ARTIST · PUBLISHED AUTHOR · FEATURED ON TELEVISION · 10+ YEARS IN THE CAKE INDUSTRY
If you’re going to learn wafer paper flowers,
learn from the artist who made them her signature.
Anna’s wafer paper flowers are so realistic that people often assume they’re made from sugar, silk, or even fresh flowers.
But her work isn’t known simply because it’s beautiful.
It’s known because Anna has spent years refining a method that makes wafer paper easier to condition, shape, color, store, transport, and use on real cakes under real event conditions.
These aren’t techniques pulled together from random tutorials.
They’re the same techniques behind the flowers featured in Anna’s book, on magazine covers, in a television commercial, on wedding cakes, and throughout her internationally recognized work.
Inside Wafer Paper Academy, she teaches them in the easy-to-follow, calm, detailed way her students love.
You won’t be left trying to reverse-engineer a finished flower or guessing why your wafer paper isn’t behaving properly.
Anna will show you what to use, what to do, and how each flower comes together, from the first petal to the finished arrangement.
I simply wanted to create cakes that felt elegant, timeless, and recognizably mine.
I tried gumpaste.
I tried buttercream.
I tried artificial flowers.
But nothing looked as light, delicate, or natural as what I imagined.
Then I discovered wafer paper.
It was edible, incredibly lightweight, and unlike anything else I had tried. It gave me the freedom to create practically any flower, color, shape, or delicate detail I wanted.
So I kept experimenting.
I learned how to condition wafer paper so it stayed flexible. How to shape and color each petal so it looked natural. How to build flowers that held their shape, survived storage and delivery, and looked beautiful from every angle.
Eventually, the flowers were no longer something I added to my cakes.
They became the reason people recognized my work.
That process led me to write my book, teach bakers around the world, and have my work featured in television commercials, magazines, and digital publications.
But more importantly, it helped me develop a method I could teach to someone else.
That method became Wafer Paper Academy.
Inside, I’ll walk you through every part of creating lifelike wafer paper flowers without leaving you to guess what I did between one step and the next.
You don’t need to master every flower at once.
You only need to make your first one.
And once you do, wafer paper stops being something you admire from a distance.
It becomes something you know how to do.
Imagine what wafer paper flowers could change about the way you decorate cakes.
No more adding heavy flowers and wondering how much weight your cake can safely hold.
No more spending hours making delicate sugar flowers only to watch a petal break while you’re storing, moving, or delivering them.
No more seeing a beautiful wafer paper design online and wishing you knew how to recreate that same light, modern style.
Instead, you’ll know how to create flowers that are:
- ✓ Lightweight and easier to use on cakes
- ✓ Flexible and less fragile than traditional sugar flowers
- ✓ Delicate, detailed, and incredibly realistic
- ✓ Customizable to the colors and style of each cake
- ✓ Easy to prepare in advance and store for future designs
Whether you decorate cakes for paying clients, friends and family, or simply because you love the creative process, you’ll have a new way to make your work stand out.
Ksenia with Lilac Sugar Cakes (@LilacSugarCakes)
“Shortly after taking Wafer Paper Academy, I booked my first wedding cake with wafer paper flowers and I’m excited (and not stressed at all!) to make it because Anna taught me all the right skills, techniques and approaches.
If you’ve been thinking about taking a wafer paper flower course from Anna, just do it. Book it.
It will pay off almost immediately and you will set yourself apart from all other cake designers in your area.“
Seven signature flowers.
One method you’ll use again and again.
You won’t just watch Anna make a beautiful flower and be left to figure out the complicated parts yourself.
You’ll follow her through each flower from start to finish, learning how to condition, color, shape, assemble, and finish the petals so you understand not only what Anna does, but why she does it.
Here are the signature flowers you’ll learn to create:
Wafer Paper Butterfly Ranunculus
Learn how to create the delicate, layered petals behind one of Anna’s most recognizable signature flowers.
Wafer Paper Classic Rose
Create an elegant, lifelike rose with natural dimension, movement, and color.
Wafer Paper Icelandic Poppy
Learn how to shape the poppy’s soft, delicate petals and create its distinctive center.
Wafer Paper Perfect Peony
Build the full, layered petals of a peony without the weight and fragility of a traditional sugar flower.
Wafer Paper Ranunculus
Learn how to assemble its detailed layers into a flower that feels soft, full, and realistic.
Wafer Paper David Austin Rose
Create the intricate petal structure and romantic shape that make this garden rose so recognizable.
Wafer Paper Magnolia
Learn how to create broad, sculptural petals and turn them into a statement flower for modern cakes.
Wafer Paper Leaves and Branches
Finish your arrangements with natural-looking greenery, leaves, and branches.
Then you’ll learn how to turn individual flowers into cakes that feel completely your own.
Knowing how to make a flower is only part of the process.
Anna will also teach you how to combine flowers, leaves, branches, color, and texture so every finished cake feels intentional—not like a collection of decorations added at the end.
These are the kinds of cakes you’ll know how to create
Not copies of Anna’s work.
Cakes that use the techniques she teaches while still looking recognizably yours.
You can be brand new to wafer paper and still create beautiful, delicate flowers that look polished and professional.
✓ Some students come in with years of experience making sugar flowers.
✓ Some have tried wafer paper before but couldn’t get it to behave the way they wanted.
✓ Others are starting from scratch.
Anna teaches the process step by step, from conditioning and shaping the paper to building and finishing the flower, so you can follow along and actually understand what you’re doing as you go.
What Students are saying:
"I have learned an incredible amount from Wafer Paper Academy. I used to only make sugar flowers but now I 100% prefer wafer paper. I love how light and manageable they are.

If you are a beginner you will be able to make a beautiful flower
Wafer paper flowers are beautiful so I decided to learn how to make them: I have explored a lot of tutorials on YouTube and found that Anna’s tutorials are the best. I learned a lot. For more complex flowers I’ve attended her Peony course and I liked it! Anna is a good teacher, everything explained very well and even if you are a beginner you will be able to make a beautiful flower. I can recommend it to everyone.

After learning from Anna I have a change of attitude towards wafer paper
I always found it very frustrating to working with wafer paper but after learning from Anna I have a change of mind and a change of attitude towards wafer paper. I love the calmness and patience with which Anna teaches online courses and even, your free tutorial. Before I bought a course I went on youtube to check if Anna was someone I could learn from and just after one video I was certain, I fell in love with the patience with which she teaches.

What if I’ve tried wafer paper before and found it frustrating?
You’re not alone. Many students joined after trying to learn through scattered tutorials or experimenting on their own.
Wafer paper behaves very differently from sugar paste. Once you understand how to properly condition and handle it, the process becomes much easier and more enjoyable.
