Wafer Paper Sunflower

Is there a happier flower than the sunflower? I don’t think so. My Wafer Paper sunflowers are lifelike and very light in weight. Assemble the wafer paper flower by following my step-by-step video tutorial below and you will have yourself a happy little sunflower to decorate your cakes all year round!

In this tutorial, you will learn how to color wafer paper and create movement. Also, I’m going to teach you how to make a realistic Sunflower center using fondant/gumpaste and coffee!
