Looking for a new holiday cookie favorite that will wow your family and friends? Then discover the magic of wafer paper. Simple to use and absolutely stunning. Featured today are the Victorian Postcards designs from http://www.fancyflours.com/; one of my favorite websites.
Make quick, easy, and creative cookie and cake decorations with these edible, sugar free printed wafer paper designs. Wafer Paper is an edible starch based confection, made of potato starch, water and vegetable oil. It is printed with food safe ink. Wafer paper is fragile, so handle it carefully. It can be placed on top of any frosting: butter cream, royal icing, or fondant.
Directions for use: To decorate cookies, cut out the postcard images with craft scissors. You can either apply the image directly to the cookie or you can apply the image to a frosted cookie. Firm icing works best--royal icing or fondant. If applying the design to royal icing, the icing must be completely dry for best results. Simply spread a thin layer of light corn syrup to the back of your wafer paper image and then apply the image, picture side up to the cookie. To ensure a smooth finish, turn the cookie over, wafer paper side down, on a piece of parchment paper for approximately 30 minutes. To completely dry, turn the cookie design side up for 12 hours.
You can add a 3 dimensional effect by adding small sugar pearls, dragees, sugar decorations or edible glitter.
Tis' the season, enjoy!
