Wafer Paper Bow Topper
Do you ever find yourself in a situation when you need to make a cake design but you have no idea where to start? Or you are making a cake and it is getting late at night and creativity just isn’t there?
I have a tutorial for you!
This Wafer Paper Bow Cake Topper is easy to make, very versatile and takes only 20 minutes from start to finish!
And I sharing my tips on how to safely put wafer paper decorations in the fridge:
- Generally, everything below 65% should not cause any wilting, however, I encourage you to try and test for yourself.
- Know your humidity! I use this Humidity Gauge and it’s been a gamechanger. I can place it in my fridge or keep it in my studio to know when my humidity is too high (above 65%).
- Make wafer paper flowers in advance (at least 3-5 days) and let them dry completely.
- If you are in a very humid environment and using my AC Tonic conditioner recipe — use less glycerin, because it attracts moisture from the air and can soften wafer paper.
- Also, you can be more generous with cornstarch, it will help wafer paper to stay dry (just keep in mind, that would make it brittle).
- I would not recommend leaving wafer paper flowers on a buttercream cake overnight if you are not sure about the humidity level.
- I store my flowers in a box with lots of silica gel packets (I use this food-grade brand) and assemble them at the venue.
