Comment by Becky sheridan on December 5, 2014 at 8:21am: I keep wanting to try the wafer paper but I'm hearing some negative things about it! Not cheating Sandra!

Comment by Goreti on November 7, 2014 at 1:52pm: It's the site Sandra because I tried to send you a message earlier and it did not go thru. Check your facebook messages. It will probably be in your "other" file.

Comment by Sandra Smiley on November 7, 2014 at 1:03pm: I thought it looked good, but was afraid the purests might crucify me :o) Mine are not as pretty as yours, by the way.

I responded her because either my computer or the site would not let me reply in messages.

Comment by Goreti on November 7, 2014 at 12:14pm: Not cheating at all Sandra. It actually looks great with the mix of the two mediums.

Comment by Sandra Smiley on November 7, 2014 at 11:16am: I do not know the brand of the wafer paper I am using. One of the ladies at the cake club did a demonstration and gave us a few sheets to practice. Water works fine to stick it together, if you don't get too much and melt it. It still gets sticky, even with plain water. I also cannot get the tip of the leaves to curl by moistening. I don't like it as much as the gum paste because you cannot achieve the realism possible with gum paste (sure do want some of the Platinum Paste!).

I made three ranunculus with the wafer paper, then decided they need foliage, so I made it from gum paste. They look good with the flowers. Planning to make a few buds (out of gum paste, as well), too. Is that cheating?

Comment by Goreti on September 13, 2014 at 6:37pm: haha Bonnie. The colored paper is way to pricey. I'm thinking of trying different designs to make. Even thinking of possibly covering a cake with it. We will see. I have plenty of white paper to play with.

Comment by Bonnie Willey on September 13, 2014 at 4:31pm: WELL! I am batting ZERO today! lol First, if you remember, I thought the colors tied together from the top down, when it was actually, from the bottom UP! And now I thought you had used precolored rice paper, for the flower look, and ya didn't! lol Just another one of those days...

By the way Goreti, that WAS a back handed compliment, on the flowered paper!!! Who but you, would have thought of that??

Comment by Sandra Smiley on September 13, 2014 at 9:25am: They look like fun. The drawing on the petals perfectly ties in the design on the cake board. Love all of it.

Comment by Goreti on September 13, 2014 at 9:10am: For these, I mixed petal dust with coconut oil and colored each petal individually. Once I put the flower together, I then dipped the brush in the mix and then dipped it in petal dust for a more concentrated color. Brushed some here & there to give it some depth. For the ones on sides, I decided to use edible pens, make dots & a flower on the paper and then cut petals. It was kind of fun.
