You are sooo amazing!!!!!!! Question: I’ve done something similar before but when I attached it to my buttercream cake, the petals became soft and droopy.. do you only work with wafer paper on fondant cakes because of the moisture in the buttercream???

[@annadwin]

i hope this is addressed...really an issue if flowers are attached to buttercream, condensation and all...

[@winifredkristecake_]

Hi there! So sorry I just saw your comment now. Yes Wafer Paper Flowers can be placed on buttercream, though you will need to take extra care of the environment. The reason why the petals become soft and droopy is because there is too much moisture (Wafer paper is sensitive to moisture), it means that your buttercream is condensating and is releasing moisture. However, if kept at an ideal temperature (& humidity - that means low humidity and air is dry) and your buttercream is not condensating/ melting (even the tiniest bit of moisture affects wafer paper), your wafer paper will stay up well. :) However if all conditions are too hard to achieve, the safest bet will be to place it on a fondant cake. Hope this helps!

[@winifredkristecake_]

Just replied above! :)

[@winifredkristecake_]

Another tip: Apply melted cocoa butter (a medium that doesn't melt when it comes in contact with moisture) at the area where your wafer paper flower will touch your buttercream cake and it will prevent the part of the wafer paper flower from melting :)

[@SunshineBySi]

[@895960]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! 💕🌸 It is really helpful, and it looks so easy when you make those beautiful leaves. The only thing that at least I find a little disturbing, no offence, is the music in the backround. It is sometimes difficult to hear what you are saying. It would be more peaceful just to listen to you, and to watch and study your lovely work.

[@winifredkristecake_]

thank you! :)

[@mysugarcloud]

Those are beautiful, thanks for sharing. Is water paper the same as rice paper ?

[@winifredkristecake_]

You're welcomed! No, wafer paper is different from rice paper.

Hi there! I’m so excited to try this out. The link for the floral tape is clear but in the tutorial I think your using white? Can you use the dust on the clear?? Thank you

[@penny4225]

Hi Winifred, thank you for the tutorial! I have a question, what kind of wire did you use? I can't seem to glue my leaves to the wire, it stuck to my fingers instead :(

[@winifredkristecake_]

Hi Penny! Just a normal floral wire that has a very thin layer of paper wrapped around it (the most common ones are white or green- in this case i am using the green one). As long as it is not purely wire that is unwrapped (silver).

[@penny4225]

@@winifredkristecake_ ah that explains it, the one I bought doesn't have the paper wrapping. Thank you so much Wini for responding, you are awesome! :)

Thank you! :)

[@kimcruz3889]

How do you decide when to use wafer paper instead of gumpaste?

[@winifredkristecake_]

Personally for me I know the different look wafer paper and gumpaste each provides, so depending on the kind of mood and design I am doing, I will use them accordingly. :)

[@dessythen6492]

Hi, i'm from Indonesia. I wanna ask you about vodka. Can i changes it with alcohol 70% ?? Thankyou..

[@winifredkristecake_]

Hi Dessy, 70% might not be the best choice as it would probably dry up too quickly, not as flexible as compared to a 40-50% alcohol content liquid, making it hard to make any natural looking impression/ indentations on the wafer paper.

[@dessythen6492]

[@jessical4257]

Hi~! Thank you so much for this! Note: I purchased your online classes and love it but the camera is sooo irritating at times because it's not close up on what you are doing or blocked by your hand. I wish it was more overhead view like this! Thanks for your hard work =]

Hi .. what is wafer paper glue ? Your voice are so small 🙈🙈 barely hear your voice..

[@winifredkristecake_]

wafer paper glue is made up of wafer paper + water, we will be sharing a video in the upcoming months on how you can make it, so stay tuned!

Where’s the sound?

[@phoenixwithin]

I have the volume up full on my phone and I cannot hear a word you are saying!!!

[@nawalhamdan9308]

Can i use something other than Vodka? Non-alcoholic? 🙏🏻

[@winifredkristecake_]

This depends on the climate you live in, if you live in a relatively dry climate, you may choose to substitute vodka with glycerin + water combination (try out the ratio yourself since every place is different, you may start with a 50:50 mix first). If you stay in a humid area, vodka is the way to go to allow your petals to dry up in time to build your flowers/ leaves. Hope this helps!
