WHAT IS WAFER PAPER?
Wafer paper is an edible paper for cake decorating, typically starch-based. It is vegan, gluten-free, and free from most allergens. It closely resembles printer paper in texture, but it is edible and could be manipulated into beautiful florals and used for contemporary cake designs. Wafer Paper is also called Rice paper and the difference is the main ingredient.
Ingredients: potato starch (or rice starch), water, and vegetable oil.
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 condition wafer paper in all kinds of ways – create flowers and textures, so it’s so great for cake decorating.

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.
If your wafer paper is dry and crackly, watch this tutorial on how to fix it.
