  • How to color wafer paper? In this video, I'm sharing my favorite ways how to color wafer paper + how to color wafer paper in bright bold colors without dissolving the material!
    There are a few different ways to color wafer paper.
    - Buy pre-colored wafer paper. You can find different brands selling wafer paper. Usually, it is about 0.27 - 0.30 mm.
    - Use an edible printer to get any shade you want. The beauty of using an edible printer - you are not limited to pre-colored options and you can print different designs, not just full-colored pages.
    - Use an airbrush! This is the easiest and less expensive way to get even colored wafer paper in any shade and color. You can use any water-based airbrush colors or, mix any gel/petals dust with my AC Tonic™ Wafer Paper Conditioner to make your own airbrush color.
    - Use a mini-spray bottle. If you don't have an airbrush, you can get similar effect by using spray bottle. I love this Mini Misters amzn.to/3s0fdFp.
    - Color your wafer paper with dry petal dust. You can evenly spread any edible petal dust on wafer paper using a brush and get very light and delicate coverage. I prefer to dust the smooth side of wafer paper.
    - You can paint on wafer paper with gel color. This is an excellent method if you need to get those dark saturated colors.
    - Color with oil-based colors. Those are the colors usually used for chocolate and candy. Not my favorite method because wafer paper is never becomes dry enough to handle, but might work for you!
    And now you have it! 7 ways to color wafer paper!

    Thanks so much for sharing your information. I've had some wafer paper for quite a while and wasn't quite sure on how to do a lot of the techniques that I'm finally learning from you after seeing you on a weekend group of tutorials a while back. So thanks to you I've starting working with wafer paper again!! Also congratulations on earning your judging certification! I live about 3 1/2 hours from Fort Worth but unfortunately I was not aware of the cake show that weekend. I would have loved to stop by to meet you.

      As she was saying, the one she normally does with the moisture sprayed with the color, it does warp the wafer paper a little bit, but, that texture actually makes better looking more realistic looking flowers.
      But to each their own.

    Question though, would the wafer paper be adjustable to shape after coloring with gel or it would just break?

    • @floreacakes
      @floreacakes  Před 2 lety +1

      You can add a touch of glycerin to your gel colors and it will help to prolong flexibility.
