[@mandynel8878]

This is a wonderful tutorial, thank you so much for sharing x A Question please - have you ever made a white orchid before? Not sure what they are called but they have the two big petals and usually on a long stem with big leaves?

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! I’m sorry but no, I haven’t made those orchids. Try Anna Astashkina - I have a feeling she has.

[@mandynel8878]

@@RustyFrench1234 You are a princess and I thank you from the bottom of my heart - I have just searched Anna Astashkina and I am in awe! Thank you so very very much xoxo

[@nicoleceline7341]

Hi, stunning work and tutorial! May I know what kind of coloring you use here? Is it oil based or water based food coloring? 😊

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! I just used water-based gel colours. ☺️

[@rowenacuevas9508]

How many days this would last? That can maintain its shape. Is it should be a week before the decorating in the cakes?

[@RustyFrench1234]

These will last for many weeks in a sealed container. Only moisture will damage them. ☺️

[@rehanaraza5018]

Its beautiful 😍 ❤ 💕 Thanks for sharing Any substitute for alcohol.. ??? as everybody can't use that.. Would love to try.. but can't use alcohol

[@RustyFrench1234]

Yes, you can use rose spirit if allowed. Otherwise, use waster but use it sparingly so your wafer paper doesn’t dissolve. It will take a bit longer to dry. ☺️

That looks amazing... Just 1 question... what did u spray on the petals before coloring ....

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! I used vodka but you can use water sparingly instead.

[@abrady79]

Beautiful! What grade of wafer paper do you use?

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! I’m sorry I don’t know...there’s no grading on the label. I’d say it’s average thickness, very much like a sheet of printer paper. I think you could do this with any grade, just adjust the amount of liquid, less for very fine and more for very stiff wafer paper. ☺️

[@abrady79]

@@RustyFrench1234 thank you so much!!

[@mada2247]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@abdullahhuss]

Amazing! thanks for sharing. What can I use instead of vodka for the spritzing and colouring? Can I use lemon extract (90% ethanol)

[@RustyFrench1234]

Hi, I haven’t tried it but I think it would be fine. Why don’t you try a test strip? You can actually even use water but very lightly and it takes much longer to dry so slows the process down a lot.

[@abdullahhuss]

The Cake Craftery thank you, I’ll try it with the lemon extract and see how it get on 👍🏻

[@RustyFrench1234]

I’d be interested to know...☺️

[@smubarak100]

Can I use water rather than wine -vodka

[@RustyFrench1234]

Yes you can. Just be careful not to use too much or the paper will go soggy. It will also take longer to dry.

[@babyexo4632]

Can i use water instead of alcohol?

[@RustyFrench1234]

You can use a very light spray of water but be really careful as too much water will dissolve the wafer paper. It will also take longer to dry. Look up Kara Buntin on KZbin. She has a recipe to make wafer paper more flexible using glycerine and gelatine. The final result will be a little different but effective all the same. 😊

[@RustyFrench1234]

Yes, you definitely can. ☺️

[@rowenacuevas9508]

Thank you. ☺️ im quite nervous because its my first time to use wafer paper. I am used to fondant flower decorating 😅 thank you so much for this very informative video.

[@marlieshamlett1284]

Can you use utter ream cake

[@RustyFrench1234]

I have seen wafer paper flowers on buttercream cakes but haven’t done it myself. I would advise using a crusting buttercream like American buttercream and waiting until a crust forms first. ☺️

[@aroojmehak9298]

Can I use water instead of vodka? Thank you for sharing this x

[@RustyFrench1234]

Arooj Mehak Hi! yes, you can but you just need to use it very sparingly. Too much water will dissolve your rice paper. It will take a little longer to dry. If you have a spray bottle with a fine nozzle, that will help. Have fun!

[@aroojmehak9298]

The Cake Craftery Thank you! Going to try this out today 🤞🏼

[@bangnhinguyen4036]

Where can i get those wire?

[@RustyFrench1234]

It’s the same floral wire used for gumpaste flowers. A cake decorating supplier should have it.

[@barbarabordner595]

Really ...i hope you realize that with your neat accent. And the video that you often act like you are talking quietly to yourself...hard to hear. Rattling paper too. The flower was beautiful.thanks..do more.
