They are gorgeous! I love working with wafer paper- it’s so much more versatile than it gets credit for 🤗

Thanks so much, dear Sylvia! Yes, it’s so different. Thank you for your encouraging comment ♥️

Heather these are gorgeous! And so much work! You really did a wonderful job! ❤️❤️❤️👌🏼🍪

Thank you very much, dear Lisa! You are very sweet. I enjoyed it a lot♥️

These look amazing, Heather! How long did it take to make these?

Thank you so much, dear Christine! The process of measuring the little rectangles of wafer paper (about 1inch), cutting, shaping one of the edges, painting, dampening, shaping the petals and sticking them individually, about 1 1/2 hours for each cookie. I guess you get faster with practice!😄♥️ Thank you for asking. I really enjoyed the technique🥰

Oh Heather, Your experimentation has produced a dream job !!! Such absolutely great flowers!!! ❤️😘 @Heather Bruce Sosa
I have never worked with wafer paper. Is the consistency similar to gingerbread wafers?

Thank you much, my dear Gabi! Haven’t seen gingerbread wafers, but the rice wafer looks like two sheets of paper stuck together, stiff but when you dampen then (veeeeery little) they turn very easy to shape. Have you seen the wafers that are used in some churches for communion? They are made of rice. Anyway, thank you so much for your very kind words of encouragement, you know I deeply appreciate them.♥️

Wow Heather...they are so realistic...and I suspect very time consuming.
