Wafer Paper
You've probably heard of wafer paper before but have you used it yet? Wafer paper is potato starch paper, better know as rice paper. It is an edible stiff paper that has a smooth side and a textured side. Here at Ink4Cakes we provide different thickness for all your edible project needs. AD00 is the thinnest and works great for transferring images onto Jello. AD2 is a great thickness for transferring images as well or for placing on top of icing laying flat. AD4 is a thicker wafer paper and this one works great of transferring images or cutting out images to use as stand-up props on your desserts. Lastly, DD6 is our thickest wafer paper and this one is perfect for all your stand-up edible prop needs! You can get really good quality images despite the textured nature of the paper. Many people don't know about its many uses when it comes to edible decoration. Below find three ways to use our wafer paper in your everyday desserts/pastries.

You would need to buy an edible printer first and print everything from home https://www.ink4cakes.com/Edible-Printers
