I’m obsess with your videos, your a great teacher. I’ve learned so much by watching your videos. Thanks so much 😊❤️

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@bunnylover2735]

Jus came across your awesome tutorial. So in love with your wafer designs. In a heartbeat I subscribed to your channel.

[@FinespunCakes]

I appreciate it! Thanks for being here :)

[@ariellebakes]

Just did this and it came our beautifully. Just had to spray a Lil water though, to avoid cracks and tears. Thank you very much

[@FinespunCakes]

Awesome! Glad you made it work! Definitely the water will help if your paper is a bit drier than mine was here :)

[@gegejeje100]

Thank you for this video, I ended up using almost 4 sheets but I'm in love with this technique 🥰

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you for watching so happy you found it useful!

[@anasaboiadecastro5166]

Love it! Thank you for sharimg!

[@fanli9990]

Really like your videos and the sugar flowers posted. Would you do a video on the studio such as how to set it up, cost of rent and equipment, staff to keep the place running.

[@FinespunCakes]

Hi Fan, that's a great idea! I am planning on covering topics like these in future online courses :)

[@kofoworolaolukoga7773]

Will definitely give this a try.

[@alo2a1019]

Absolutely stunning!! I will definitely be trying! Just wanted to confirm that I didn’t have to steam the water paper first?

[@FinespunCakes]

I didn't have to becasue my paper was fresh. If yours is brittle you may need to steam it a tiny bit.

[@susannabadalyan-deus8595]

Can I use this technique for my baby shower cake? I will probably paint the wafer paper baby blue, silver and white colors to match with my butter cream frosting and fondant. Thank you

[@FinespunCakes]

Sure, absolutely! You can add the colour to the vodka/water mixture if you'd like, or you can try painting it on afterwards (which might be a bit trickier).

[@nasastella2836]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, does it mean there's no need to steam the wafer papers before pleasing? Kindly reply. Thank you.

[@FinespunCakes]

You don't have to steam if your wafer paper is fresh. If you need to hydrate it put a damp paper towel inside a small ziptop bag that's been left open. Then put the bag with your wafer paper inside a large ziptop bag or sealed plastic container.

[@suewiebe6189]

Love this technique!

[@FinespunCakes]

Thanks Sue! 🙌🏼

[@barbaraaidefahmerembao4553]

[@rosy5551]

Hi Alexandria Awesome tutorial as always ❤ thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge and experience 😘

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you for watching, Irzana! Love to share :)

[@aggie47]

Just landed on yo channel n I love it already... thank you foor sharing💛 My qn; How do I colour the pleats please?

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you! I'd recommend colouring the full sheet before cutting and shaping, you can use an airbrush machine, edible printer, or brush it using vodka and gel paste colouring. Just be careful not to over-saturate the paper :)

[@Omanine9]

Sooo beautiful

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you!☺️

[@suechenard6052]

Are there different types of wafer papers? Mine only bends nicely on one side!!!The other side always tears :(

[@FinespunCakes]

There are different thicknesses! You can always gently steam the paper to soften it up just a little bit.

[@berthameza7147]

Loving this, can I substitute the wafer paper with rice paper?

[@FinespunCakes]

I think they're the same thing or very similar, shouldn't be a problem!

[@muchambrosia]

I have a question that might be silly, my wafer paper breaks when I try to fold it. Is this a special kind or did you conditioned somehow to be able to fold it? Thanks in advance!

[@FinespunCakes]

Hi! Not silly at all. Wafer paper dries out in drier climates/rooms. Put the wafer paper in a large zip top bag or plastic container. Place a piece of damp paper towel inside a small ziptop bag and leave it open then place that smaller bag in the larger bag/box. Seal the larger bag and leave it for a couple of days to re-hydrate.

[@shrutigupta4317]

Can we add this technique in whipped cream cakes ??

[@FinespunCakes]

I think whipped cream has too much moisture it will melt the wafer paper :( I'd only recommend on buttercream or fondant

[@shrutigupta4317]

Thank you so much mam ll use buttercream then ❤️

[@laurawilliams3208]

Love this!!! Thank you for sharing! What’s your wafer paper glue made from?😀

[@FinespunCakes]

It's wafer paper and water microwaved together to form a paste :)

[@khaleehd]

Came from you Instagram reel. This is so awesome xD

[@FinespunCakes]

Thanks!!

[@user-ge3cg3zv8v]

Finespun Cakes my waffle sheet is broken. why doesn't it work?

[@elnywidjaja9885]

What kind of wafer paper is this? Mine cannot be folded just like that. It will be broken for sure.

[@chiomazita5923]

Hello pls can wafer paper be used on whipped cream?

[@FinespunCakes]

I wouldn't recommend it! I think whipped cream is too moist and will melt the paper

[@chiomazita5923]

@@FinespunCakes ok thanks

[@lovepassiondream]

What kind of wafer paper do you use? Mine cracks and tears whenever I try to fold them

[@FinespunCakes]

Hi! Link in the description box for the brand I use. If your wafer paper isn't as fresh or is dehydrated it's possible for it to crack. Look on Instagram @astashkinacakes she has an IGTV video on keeping your wafer paper fresh!

[@user-ge3cg3zv8v]

what cream coating does this cake have?

[@FinespunCakes]

Italian Meringue Buttercream- I have the recipe on my channel :)

[@MrRimeurse]

thanks !

[@gingandnori1841]

Does it works on whipped cream frosted cakes or the wafer paper will just melts to its moisture?

[@FinespunCakes]

I think it will melt quickly! Recommend for fondant or buttercream :)

[@gillietboateng2803]

How do I color it?

[@FinespunCakes]

I’m sure Astashkina Cakes probably has a tutorial on this! I’m not a wafer paper expert 😋

[@danutawosik2988]

🥰❤👍

[@WADHA15]

Is it edible?

[@FinespunCakes]

Yes

[@Kianarevision]
