H there! Hope you are having a wonderful week. I think it's time for another instalment of Tutorial Tuesday. Today, I'm sharing a simple wafer paper flower. These flowers are quick and easy and this medium allows for ample opportunity to get creative. I have used it to wrap a cake, to make fun, little chevron pinwheels and wedding cookie favours, to name a few. Printing or painting on the wafer paper is a great way to add interest to your flowers.
Here's a quick slideshow to get you started making your own Simple Wafer Paper Flower.
Easy, right! Wafer paper flowers can be a cost and time saver, while still delivering impact to your designs. The sugar flower I made for this mini birthday cake fell and broke as I was attaching it. It's probably the only time I didn't make an extra as a backup. Go figure! I printed a sheet using a printer reserved for edible ink and in a matter of minutes I had a flower ready for my friend's little birthday surprise.
Craftsy has two great Wafer Paper classes - Delicate Wafer Paper Cakes and Bold & Beautiful Wafer Paper Flowers. They are a great way to learn the make basics and more stylized wafer paper flowers. They just so happen to be on sale at the moment!
Here's what you will need to make this Simple Wafer paper Flower:
See you in a couple days for another sweet fix!

Hi Shama, it's quite a small cake - the angle at which I shot it makes it appear way taller. I'll try to get around to a tutorial in the future. Thanks for your sweet comment!
