Edible Wafer Paper

Edible wafer paper is used on cakes for various 3D decorations like flowers, sails, and geometric shapes, or to create a textured, translucent effect.

It can be cut, folded, and bent to form shapes, colored with edible tints or luster dust, and adhered to cakes with edible glue, water, or piping gel.

It works best on fondant or a crusting buttercream, but high-moisture buttercreams need a barrier like melted cocoa butter to prevent the paper from dissolving.
