Hey, friend! In this wafer paper tutorial video, I show you how to create wafer paper palm leaves (fans or pleats, whatever you want to call them) and how to paint wafer paper gold color, step by step!
I’m going to use red premium colored wafer paper and white 0.27mm wafer paper. Also, I’m going to teach you how to paint wafer paper metallic colors!
Put your own spin on the project by choosing different colors, adding your own personal touch, or creating bright wafer paper palm leaves!
I can’t wait to see what you do with it. When you make your own wafer paper palm leaf, post on social media and tag me @astashkinacakes, so I can share.
what is wafer paper?
Wafer paper is a sheet of edible paper, typically starch-based.
It’s safe to eat and the flavor is very subtle — so it won’t interfere with what’s going on in your cake. You can manipulate wafer paper in all kinds of ways, another reason why it’s so great for cake decorating.
Ingredients: potato starch, water and vegetable oil.
storage
Keep wafer paper in a clean Ziplock bag and store in a cool, dry place. Wafer paper can last quite some time (around 2 or 3 years on average), if stored correctly.
