What is a wafer paper flower?

As its name suggests, are flowers made using wafer paper (also known as rice paper) – a thin sheet of edible paper, made of a combination of potato starch, water, and vegetable oil. Most wafer papers are flavorless or have a neutral taste.

Wafer paper flowers are a popular form of cake decorations among bakers and cake designers. This decorating medium is used to create elegant, exquisite flowers that look different from the regular gum paste flowers.
