How to choose wafer paper. Grades of wafer paper | Florea Cakes

Did you know wafer paper comes in grades? In this video, I'm showing you the difference in wafer paper types. And which grade you need for what application.
There are 3 main types of wafer paper:
O-grade (0.22 mm) - very thin and light. I use this type for multi-petal flowers and if I want to make something quick.
AD-grade (Premium or 0.27-0.35 mm) - the most common type of paper to make flowers, foliage, and decorations. Takes on texture beautifully and very versatile. The downside for me - I need to apply conditioner to both sides.
DD-grade (Double-thickness or 0.6mm) - smooth on both sides and relatively thick. Great for printing designs or painting. I wouldn't recommend this type of wafer paper for making flowers. It may work for making foliage and structured decoration, but it is stiff and fragile.

[@TortaCakes]

thank you for your wonderful tutorials! you are so very talented what do you use glycerin for?

[@floreacakes]

Thank you. Glycerin is a humectant and helps to soften wafer paper without melting it

[@TortaCakes]

Do I use glycerin instead of or with water?

[@floreacakes]

with water. You can get my free conditioner recipe here: astashkinacakes.com/recipe/

[@staceyy2827]

Thank you for all of the info! Question aside from the wafer paper, do you offer classes on how to price cakes out? I’m a new cake decorator and not really sure how to price them

[@floreacakes]

Hey! Welcome to the channel! I don't, we talk a lot about pricing and business things on my in-person classes, which are postponed indefinitely. I would highly recommend you to look into business classes at CakeFlix - www.cakeflix.com/course-category/pricing-your-cakes Paul and David are amazing and share valuable information.

I want to put some wafer paper flowers on some cookies and petit fours I am making for a baby shower. Do people usually eat them, or do they remove the flowers before eating the cookie or petit four?

[@floreacakes]

Yes, you can. People do eat wafer paper, it's very neutral in teste and can be added to any designs

[@marcia0509able]

Here in Brazil we only have one paper model. Here we call it rice paper 🇧🇷

[@user-bi4ny2gq5c]

unfortunately i cant seem to find 0.22mm grade paper in uk?

[@floreacakes]

You can use 0.27mm. They are very close in thickness and if you are just getting tarted, won't be as noticeable.

[@shirleytakeuchi5307]

Olá Anna. Do you have this digital book in portuguese ?

[@floreacakes]

You can find this in English here: floreacakes.com/recipe/ Unfortunately, I don't speak Portuguese
