My first wafer paper flower. Dusted it with petal dust but wasn't happy with so decided to try edible makers. Very easy to make but I won't be giving up on gumpaste. Prefer the realism of gumpaste flowers.

Thanks Bonnie.  I really like the color that I achieved using the edible markers.  Wasn't happy with the dusts.  The reason why the leaves looks like that is when I dusted them with dark green there were spots that had some piping gel on them causing the dark spots.  The lighter green is the edible marker.

The leaves are cute too, but it looks like a bug got to one of them...lol

I've seen them making these, and they never thought to get out the scissors, and that really helped with the effect you were going after.  It is as cute as can be!  I luv ittttt!  IMHO it is better than the ones they want you to pay money to learn in the classes! lol  Can't get over how good those little snips made it look!  And the vibrant use of color really adds to the effect also.  Way to go Girl!!

I like this, too, Goreti.  Absolutely, it is not in the category of your gum paste flowers for realism, but lovely none the less.  Great job for your first try.

Thank you both.  It really is easy to make.  I am going to put this on a quick cake I made for my niece's birthday.  Been wanting to try a new cake recipe so figured I would go for it.  Too lazy to make fondant so I'm just going to use some of my leftover fondant and one of my onlay moulds.

It's so pretty G.....no not a "real flower".... But wafer paper flowers aren't necessarily suppose to be "real". Beauty is subjective. I really like it....as I said....pretty so delicate looking...

I think this is beautiful Goreti.  It looks so much like the water lilies in our small pond (when they decide to flower that is, which isn't often!)
