Wafer paper love!!! this is a total infatuation

Wafer paper is the new trend!!! yes, absolutely !!! If you are a cake decorator you know it already and maybe you already bought some sheets but not so sure how to use it or you are still afraid to use it. Well, that exactly happened to me last year: I got the paper but I was way too lost to start using it, there weren't any tutorials or real information about how to use it properly. 

Hopefully, some great sugar artists, decided to give it a try, experiment on it , with it and after trial and error, some great tutorials are out there!!! 

I decided to get Craftsy Class "Delicate Wafer paper cakes" with Stevi Auble  ,and I totally loove it !!! From there and having the basic knowledge, the imagination will take you to many endless possibilities!!! I am feeling great making these flowers and introducing wafer paper to my new cakes,  I have also found great inspiration and a huge willing of try new things on my cakes, I feel "Ferocious" about getting edgy designs, yes I feel I can make them !!! GRRRREAT!!! (Roar)

Delicate Wafer-Paper Cakes, with Stevi Auble

Sofia The First Cake

 

Last Month I was asked to make a Sofia The first Cake, and I was about to die!!! I've being waiting for this to happen long time ago. I also appreciate my friend Aliya for all her trust in making this, trying different techniques and staying away from ruffles and crowns when I designed this cake. 

It turned out bigger and heavier than I had expected but trying something new also means some hours of try and error . At the end I felt really pleased using the wafer paper I bought several months ago (and I was afraid to used it) along with the paper die cut pouch I got from Michael's store (a little tricky to use I must add) 

 

I also tried the bi dimensional technique, that normally should be used on the top of the cake because it turns really heavy; and on this cake just the part of the hair on Sofia, turned out really heavy and tricky to secure on cake. BTW, I must add that the hardest part to make on figurines is the mouth, lips and mouth expression, I redid it 3 times!!!! 

 

This cake is a 8"x3"all butter cream  on bigger tier and 7"x8" ganache and fondant on topper tier using the DOUBLE BARREL technique that you can learn HERE

Thank you so much for checking on my blog!!! I love to see you here
