Can I please ask: what is the ideal temperature to store these wafer flowers? And how long will they last? I'll need to make these a couple of weeks earlier.

@FinespunCakes 3 жыл бұрын

@@marianoellyncastro9093 You are so sweet, thank you Maria! Keep them in a dry area at room temperature. If you work in a humid area you can seal them in a plastic box with silica gel packets until you're ready to use them.

Hello!! Well done, superb! I've watched a lot of your flower tutorial videos and you make really nice videos. I love the narration. But could you show how you assemble your flowers to the cakes? My curiosity is when you poke into the cake, do you simply stick into the cake itself? Do you bundle them? TIA!

@FinespunCakes 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Kimberly, thank you for watching! I'm going to be covering that in my upcoming online course :) I insert them individually, don't usually bundle them.

@amandaw9284 Жыл бұрын

Thanks also much! I was wondering as well. Since the wire is paper covered do you need to insert into a straw as well? Thanks. Love your cakes!

@cinziadadamo5336 2 жыл бұрын

thank you very much for this beautiful tutorial, you are very good and I admire your work very much😍 I have a doubt ... which of the two sides of the wafer paper is the right one, the smooth or the rough side? Thanks a lot for the answer

@FinespunCakes Жыл бұрын

I don't really pay attention to which side but I think people say the rough side is the side that should be up!

@FinespunCakes 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I recommend not putting it in the fridge. However, I did put wafer paper in the fridge and it only started losing its shape after 2 days at 75% humidity. You will have to experiment with your fridge!

An amazing work just i want to know what is the wafer paper because I'm from morroco and I've never heard about this paper and wanna know if it is edible or not ?? Tanks

@Chloe_is_on_youtube_wtf 2 жыл бұрын

It’s usually made of potato starch and water and vegetable oil, sometimes rice starch added too. Definitely edible!

@damarieotoole1014 2 жыл бұрын

Do you need to prep the wires in any way before placing them into the cake? Or are they food safe already? Is there a brand you love? Thanks!

@FinespunCakes 2 жыл бұрын

I know some people will just tape with non toxic floral tape, others like to use a small cocktail straw around the wire before inserting :) all my links are in the description box below the video

How to make this wafer glue...wafer and water or wafer and votka??

@pattybakes9475 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! If I wanted to add color to the waferpaper, when would I add it? I was thinking of using dry petal dust to create a light, airy blush color. Thank you!

@FinespunCakes 3 жыл бұрын

You definitely can add dust when the petals are dry! Alternatively you can add a very very tiny amount of colouring to the liquid you use to soften the wafer paper

When you want to colour the leaves do you still brush them with the alcohol?

Yes, I mix the alcohol with food colouring. See my palm leaf tutorial if you'd like to see how I do it :)

@FinespunCakes 3 ай бұрын

Hi Yvonne! You can use just water (this is what I usually use now), if your environment is very humid you can mix 50/50 vodka and water so it evaporates faster.
