[@krazykara1327]

Can you refrigerate this cake with the wafer paper decorations? If yes, do you refrigerate inside a box or uncovered? Any condensation issues when out to room temperature? Especially if the cake was wrapped with wafer paper printed design? Does adding cocoa butter on the back of the sheet help isolating? Thx a lot queen of wafer paper!

[@annareich9017]

This is so helpful! Love the cake too! Can you put the cake in the fridge or will the wafer paper get ruined?

[@floreacakes]

Generally, if a flower is fully dry (made a few days in advance) - it is safe to put it on the cake and in the fridge. I put my cakes in the fridge in a corrugated cardboard box and let them sit at room temperature for a few hours to avoid condensation. And I never have any fresh produce in my fridge, if I’m working on a cake. However, it is important to know your fridge and your room humidity because the difference causes condensation, not the fridge itself. It is better to use a hygrometer and check the humidity to protect wafer paper from melting.

[@ahljainea.7783]

hi chef astashkina does this apply to boiled icing also?

[@kareematodun5451]

Please in the absence of cocoa butter which is scarce to get here in Nigeria, what can I use? Can I stick the flower to the cake using royal icing without using the cocoa butter? Will it stick well and not fall? Really love all your tutorials.

[@floreacakes]

You can use melted chocolate

[@staniacenk7153]

Hi. I love to watch your tutorials, they are so detailed. Just one think. If in my area is not possible to have little coffee straws for insert decorations into the cake, what I can use instead,please? I thought toothpicks maybe?

[@floreacakes]

You can use Safety Seal or place those butterflies just on the surface

[@rafeliawijaya2295]

your video really helpful!❤️ can i use melted chocolate instead?

[@floreacakes]

Yes! Absolutely! I use cocoa butter because it is clear and easier to melt, but chocolate or candy melts would work the same!

[@mariliamirandariart765]

Beautiful cake! Love your wafer paper flowers tutorials! I have one question, since you are applying the wafer paper flowers to buttercream, does that mean that you can place wafer paper decorations in the fridge? I’m asking this because I always work under the assumption that you can not do that. Thanks for your help!

[@floreacakes]

Yes you can! Check the humidity in your fridge, but it is absolutely safe to put wafer paper in the fridge!

[@rizskena1313]

This is so helpful. Can i use coconut oil as a substitute for cocoa butter?

[@floreacakes]

Not for this application. Cocoa butter is solid at room temp

[@ifunanyaiyi1769]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Can I use margarine?

[@floreacakes]

Cocoa butter is solid at room temp, I don't think that margarine would work the same.

[@philippenenna4633]

Learning so mutch! Can you also use coconut butter instead of cacaobutter?

[@floreacakes]

I don't think so. You can test and decide for yourself, but cocoa butter is what is chocolate made of and it's stable and solid at room temperatures

[@smubarak100]

@@floreacakes also coco butter does not have test or smell like coconut

[@floreacakes]

@@smubarak100 There are cocoa butter, cacao butter and coconut butter. Which one are you talking about?

[@MartaMartinsMAoQuadrado]

I believe they're talking about coconut butter. Like aldi, it has a 100%coconut fat, like a butter package. I was wondering if I could use it too.

[@patriziacandido1800]

good morning.if I have a colorful painting on wafer paper and I wanted to put it on a cake filled with buttercream, will it ruin? does the waffle exude? thanks if you can answer me 

[@floreacakes]

I would try! I don't know your recipe and humidity, but wafer paper is very stable, more than sugar paste!

[@semisweet_przepisy]

Hello ! what do you think about covering the cake with cream with mascarpone , heavy cream and sugar mix ? is wafer paper also gonna melt on it ?

[@floreacakes]

I haven't tried that recipe, so I would suggest you do test that first.

[@anniedutari8182]

This is great Astashkina!!! How do you deal with condensation from the fridge? Once I made a cake with beautiful tropical leaves on it made from wafer paper. I kept the cake in the fridge inside a box and when I took it out from the box, the leaves just melted :(

[@floreacakes]

Generally, if a flower is fully dry (made a few days in advance) - it is safe to put it on the cake and in the fridge.

I can only find Cacao Butter Powder at my local baking supply store, is it possible to melt Cacao Butter Powder when heat is applied?

[@floreacakes]

I would check the packaging. I have never worked with cacao butter powder. You can use candy melts or white chocolate, just apply as thin as possible

[@Eclipse-mb5jr]

Hello ma'am, can i also use these wafer paper flowers in Whip creams? I just need to dab cocoa butter before placing it on liquidy type of frostings?? Hope you answer my comment. Thank you😊

[@floreacakes]

Please let me know if you try! Wafer Paper is very stable and I've had a lot of feedback that it works.

[@claudiarobles3939]

Hi! Can I use as well cocoa butter to add waffle paper to to Italian meringue?

[@floreacakes]

Buttercream is sticky enough, you don't need to add anything.

[@claudiarobles3939]

@@floreacakes but my cake has Italian meringue instead of butter cream , so it doesn’t matter if my cake is with meringue or butter cream I need to add waffle paper flowers with butter cream?

[@paolageorgina]

@@claudiarobles3939 IMBC is completely fine 🙂 is Buttercream too. Just follow the instructions. You can add the flowers and butterflies with cacao butter, that is for do a shield between the IMBC and the paper which is delicate and can be melted with fat like the butter of the IMBC.

[@sharonanneramese148]

Learning so much... After you have coated with Cocoa butter, can you arrange your flowers and store in the fridge until the next day?

[@floreacakes]

Yes you can! It depends on your humidity, but if you are using a home fridge - should be fine!

Could you use shortning instead of coco butter? Thank you for your video.

Let me know, if you try! Cocoa butter is solid at room temp and creates a nice protective layer of the back.

@@floreacakes ya ya. I mean transportation. haha. It's like when you want to put flowers in the box and transport it to someone

[@floreacakes]

​@@joycenguyen290 If I'm transporting just flowers, I use plastic containers (like Tupperware) and packing peanuts. Wafer Paper is very light and could be easily layered. If I'm delivering a cake, I assemble everything together at the studio and use cake safe to transport the cake. I also ship wafer paper flowers and arrangements, but it is a different story)))
