How to make a FRILLY WAFER PAPER ROSE | CAKE DECORATING | DOZYCAKES

A client of mine sent a picture of a beautiful wedding cake that her daughter fell in love with. The cake featured stylized sugar roses with beautiful frilly cups formed from sugarpaste. Gorgeous! Problem was that she wanted a similar look created with wafer paper. I wasn't sure how to form the petals so they would be beautifully cupped. After several failed attempts I noticed my Wilton petal formers sitting at the edge of my workbench. I gave it a shot and TA-DA! Not only did they create cupped petals, but by happy chance the frilly edges magically appeared in the process. The rest was fairly easy :)
Learn how to make WAFER PAPER LEAVES in my mini tutorial on Instagram @Dozycakes. You can find the link below.
Visit my ETSY SHOP at www.etsy.com/shop/dozycakes for this and other wafer paper flowers.
This tutorial consists of two parts:
Part 1 - Forming the petals quickly and easily (includes preparing the wire)
Part 2 - Assembling your rose (starts at 07:06)
SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED
Wafer paper (several sheets)
Paper Punches, 2'" and 2.5" (you can cut by hand if you don't have punches)
Vodka (water works too, but vodka dries faster)
Fine mist spray bottle
Flat paintbrush
1.25" polystyrene ball (smooth kind)
Cloth covered wire for flower stem (I used 18 gauge)
Cloth covered wire to secure polystyrene ball (optional)
Hot glue
Floral tape

Thank you so much for your feedback! Much appreciated. If you give this flower a go, I would love to see your work. Thanks again Muna :)

[@amandaw9284]

Fabulous technique. So kind to share. Can you say if you wrapped the ball with wafer paper before attaching the three curly petals? Thank you!

[@Dozycakes]

Yes! Allows the petals to attach easily. I wrap the ball using water only :)

[@gabischnell6884]

The tutorial is very good but it is very difficult to follow because you speak very fast and shake hands too much. And one more piece of advice, I hope you don't mind, try not to drop the utensils on the table so much and for nothing

[@amandarose3706]

Boy, you speak so fast! I think your video could have been half the length but good tutorial anyway. This is not meant to be a negative comment, just an observation.

[@Dozycakes]

Amanda Rose good point Amanda! But I thought some could skip ahead if necessary where others might be having trouble. Thanks for your feedback. I hope you’ll try making this flower! Please share if you do :) x
