Came from Ann Reardons video after seeing your fantasic Gojo cake 😂
I love how transparent you are about the trend!

[@hearttoheart1184]

U mean u can put the cake w/ wafer paper in fridge and it will still work?

[@JustinTorrento]

love it. thanks

[@kayafaye4156]

Hi! I’m looking to make this cake however my concern is does it end up tasting burnt?

[@sparklecakerie]

Hi! That’s a great question. You might smell the smoke a little from the wafer burning but not a lot, I barely smelled anything personally but for someone sensitive to smoke, I would be careful. As for taste, since it’s only the top layer, you can easily just scrape it off, no problem ! It doesn’t make the cake itself taste burnt unless you eat those small pieces directly

[@edp9811]

Doing the double layer burn away, do you just not double up the icing in between the two rice paper sheets?

[@sparklecakerie]

Hii! thanks for your question! :) Yes you can totally double up the icing in between the rice paper sheet whe doing the double layer burn away like the example video my cake artist friend did. So basically you would have your base layer image, frosting border, then first wafer image, then another frosting border, and then final wafer image and final frosting border to hide the edges. Done!

I'm trying this burn away cake this year for my big brother's bday ✨ THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO

hehe you're very welcome! hope it helps and happy decorating!! lmk if you have any other questions about it :)

[@AshleyVue-w3m]

I’m making this is an order, am I able to refrigerate this paper? It’ll be safe in a box, will this help preserve the wafer paper?

[@sparklecakerie]

Hi there ! I recommend frosting it the day of pick up for your order if you feel like your fridge is humid (like if you keep vegetables or something similar in the same fridge) because the humidity will likely affect the wafer paper/icing sheet. If you have a humidity meter, you can use that to check your fridge level. If it looks good, then it should stay dry and you can safely make your cake order the day before, I usually do that because my fridge runs dry. Hope that helps! :)

[@seeyasha7691]

Hi!! Can i use sugar paper instead of wafer paper in both layers??

[@sparklecakerie]

hihi! if by "sugar paper" you mean the icing sheet that I used in the video for the bottom image (the revealed image after burning the wafer paper), then I don't recommend burning the icing image as it didn't burn the same way and not as nicely as the wafer paper does since the icing image sheets tend to be thicker and are also made with different ingredients not making it "burn away cake" - friendly. If you don't want to bother with having 2 different sheets on hand, I recommend that you have wafer on top to burn and wafer on the bottom (just remember wafer is thinner and also a bit more see through compared to icing sheet). Hope that helps!

can i use rice paper substitute wafer sheet?
It's work?

Is there a way to avoid all the little burnt piece of paper this on top of the cake?

[@sparklecakerie]

Hi~ unfortunately I haven't figured out a way yet...I was wondering that too but since the wafer paper is literally being burned, it seems bits get left behind..hmm the only thing I can think of top of my head is that you should just make sure to scrap off those pieces before serving. If you come up with somethings genius to avoid that, I'd love to know! :)

[@yashikasingh3468]

Can we replace wafer paper with parchment paper???

[@sparklecakerie]

Hmmm that’s actually a really good question! I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure how well it’ll burn but I can test it next week and see what happens and let you know ☺️

[@bomdoughnuts1928]

where did you buy the wafer paper?

[@sparklecakerie]

Amazon! I linked in the caption but if you need a bulk order, I also like to order from the company “Icing Images”

[@bomdoughnuts1928]

@@sparklecakerie thank you for your response! Did you make the templates yourself and get them printed with edible ink?

[@_0jy942]

Hi ! Can I use l creamcheese + butter cream ? No only butter cream🤔🤔

[@sparklecakerie]

Hi there! Yes you can~ to be honest, I prefer cream cheese frosting anyway but for the sake of the video since most people would decorate in buttercream, I used that. With cream cheese frosting though, you have to be careful because it has more moisture than buttercream so I wouldn't leave the cake full assembled with the edible images on for too long in case it melts. You might be able to get away with holding it in the fridge overnight assuming that your fridge humidity level is not high and your cream cheese frosting recipe is not too "wet" . Hope that helps and let me know how that goes...very curious!

[@_0jy942]

Thank you for answer😆 I will try it and report back to you when the wafer paper arrives. Have a nice day!

[@sparklecakerie]

yay so excited to find out how it goes for you! You should be able to use wafer paper on the top and bottom of the cake. I just like how it looks to use icing sheet on the bottom for the image reveal but the wafer should definitely be on top for burning :)

[@cristinac9444]

Hi there! Thank you for your work to share with us ! Can I have your recipe from the cream you used, thank you so much

[@WowCakes02]

Can we use glossy paper print instead of iching sheet

[@sparklecakerie]

hi there! glossy paper print as in from a regular printer type? I haven't tried it but if you plan to use it as your bottom image, I image that the grease wouldn't seep through the image since it's glossy but you have to make sure that the manufacturer for your ink is NON-TOXIC. If it's for an order, you'll have to remember to tell the clients to remove that image as well before eating since it's non toxic. If you mean to burn instead of the top wafer paper, I don't recommend it LOL!

[@sparklecakerie]

hope that helps! :)

[@milkbillingswortous]

to get the sheet, am I meant to print it myself, or can i order it?

[@sparklecakerie]

Hihi!! If you have an edible image printer, you can prepare it yourself but you can also totally order the sheets :)

[@laurenhathaway496]

What if you don’t want to invest in edible ink? Can you just use edible pens to write on the edible paper?

[@sparklecakerie]

love the thrifty-ness! that's a good question if you only plan to do this once since a printer + paper would probably cost over $300+ . What you can do is order it from someone that provides the custom edible images. Etsy has plenty of people who can provide that for you OR you can do what you mentioned. Purchase the edible images (I have links to amazon that you can get) and then use edible pens to draw/write your own. The color may not be as clear as printing it and you have to be careful not to over color one area on the wafer people because it can dissolve. Practice on a few sheets of wafer/icing sheet first but theoretically, it should definitely work because I've done something like that before when I needed the lines to be bolder so I drew over it with an edible ink marker. You can even get food coloring (I recommend gel for more potent colors) and use a paint brush to "paint" on the edible papers. hope that helps! :) have fun~

[@laurenhathaway496]

@@sparklecakerie yes printer, ink and all that is pricy. yes it does help! Thanks so much!

Can i use butter paper?

[@sparklecakerie]

hi! if the butter paper you have is wax lined, I don't recommend it because the wax will burn and smell terrible! I accidentally used waxed paper instead of parchment (uncoated paper) and it smelled like burnt rubber when I baked with it. I have heard that there are some brands that can be used for baking so it may also depend on the brand and then in that case, you could probably burn it but I haven't tried that so not entirely sure. I don't imagine that the waxed paper would be able to hold ink properly either. If you do get a chance to try it though, let me know how it goes! I'm very curious now because that's a good question haha

[@sarahakbar9763]

But I heard that if you put wafer paper in the fridge to chill it gets ruined

[@sparklecakerie]

My fridge runs on the dryer side so I don't have this issue with wafer paper or icing image on non-wet icing like swiss meringue but that's a great point! If you plan to make a burn away cake for yourself, then you can check the humidity level in your fridge with a humidity meter. if you don't have then another way to know is if you leave a piece of fondant in the fridge. If the piece of fondant gets sticky then it's likely your wafer would have the same problem and therefore the time you can chill will have to be shorter ~ If the fondant piece ends up being dry (or dry-er) then you should be able to safely chill your cake with the icing sheet and wafer without it "melting" into the frosting or from humidity in your fridge.
If this is for an order, then I recommend making sure you have enough space between the image and the edge/border of the cake so when it burns, the frosting that melts doesn't end up covering the message underneath. You can also opt for a crusting buttercream type instead like American style buttercream to avoid putting it in the fridge so you can make the cake ahead of time. Again, just make sure you have space between the border and the text you want to show underneath. Hope that helps! :)

[@dapurmommyvee6491]

Can you tell me, what paper do you use

[@sparklecakerie]

The top is wafer paper from edible image paper companies like Icing Images, Paper2Eat or you can find on Amazon, about 0.25-0.27mm thick and the icing sheet is also from Icing Images or you can find from Amazon. Hope that helps! 😊

[@muhammedrihan5567]
