Wafer paper is a versatile and inexpensive product with tonnes of uses in cake decorating. One of my favourite uses in making flowers.

You will need the following supplies:
White wafer paper (or purchase our pre printed template)
Pencil
Scissors
Big edible pearl
Black edible marker
Paintbrush
Edible Glue or corn syrup
Pink dust
Blue dust

Step 1:
Use a pencil to draw 6 big petals and 6 small petals on a sheet of wafer paper.
The drawings don’t have to be perfect. Otherwise to make it even easier you can purchase our pre printed wafer paper template here.

Note: These days, pencils are non-toxic and many decorators use them in cake decorating. But, if you are uncomfortable using a pencil, you can use scissors to cut out these petal shapes free hand.

Step 2:
Use scissors to cut out these petal shapes.
They don’t have to be cut out perfectly.

Step 3:
Dip your paintbrush in blue dust and color 3 big and 3 small petals blue.
Dip your paintbrush in pink dust and color 3 big and 3 small petals pink.

Step 4:
Outline all the petals with a black edible marker.
Make sure the outline is thick.

Step 5:
Brush very little corn syrup or edible glue at one end of a blue petal and stick a pink petal there.

Step 6:
Continue sticking petals in a circular formation.

Step 8:
Now, brush very little edible glue or corn syrup in the center of the big flower.
Stick a small blue petal here.
Then, stick the pink petal beside it. And keep going until you have a small flower on top of your big flower.

Step 9:
Finally, brush a little corn syrup or edible glue in the center of this flower and stick a big edible pearl or a big white sprinkle here. Let it dry over night before attaching to your cake.
