Wafer Paper Pastel Butterflies

These delicate wafer paper butterflies are ready to attach to any cake or cupcake!  They're 100% edible, and beatifully detailed!

• set of 18 butterflies
• sizes range between 1-1/2" and 3" wide
• Attach to cakes with wafer paper glue (see recipe below) or edible glue
• refrigerating cakes and cupcakes with wafer paper decorations is not recommended
• If attaching to buttercream cakes or cupcakes, brush the back side of the butterfly (only where it will touch the buttercream) with melted cocoa butter or white chocolate coating and let dry.  This will create a moisture barrier to keep the buttercream from wilting/melting the wafer paper.  'Cause nobody needs soggy butterflies!
• Use a cake steaqmer to soften the butterflies if you want to manipulate and curve their wings

Wafer Paper Glue

Ingredients:

• A few sheets of plain wafer paper
• Water

Directions: Dissolve the wafer paper in water (about equal parts water to paper) and leave overnight for a thick glue to form.  Add more water for thinner glue consistency.
