And, here's also a tip on the wafer paper. People comment on the edges curling. While I was flooding the cookie I smeared (with a basting brush) a mixture of icing and corn syrup on a piece of wax paper and put the wafer image in it to "soak" (careful not to get it on the front.) I didn't have any trouble at all with curling edges.
How did you transfer the "prepped" wafer paper from the "coated" wax paper to the cookie?
I just saw this so I am sorry for the tardy reply. I simply am able to pick the rice paper up and place it on the cookie. They don't get real fragile.
Thanks Donna - I actually did try it your way, but had a lot of trouble picking it up without getting "stuff" on the front. I need a youtube to see how you do it! Obviously I wasn't doing something right! I appreciate the response.
