Is this same rice paper that made in China or Vietnam

@@umerbilal7156 It's the same material as the rice paper they use for the 'host' in church communions. I believe it is - that's what I used and I believe that was what Verity used. Ordered it right away after I've seen the video :)

es comestible

+shannon 1. so if you cover the cake in rice paper with a map on it ..how can that ink be eaten is not foodgrade 2 .she already said before that cutting it since is so stretchy would b a problem once you put it on a cake ..how will you remove it before eating the cake?

Myself, I wouldn't cover the whole cake with it. If you want to do that, use icing sheets. You can join Verity's sheets after they're printed and coated with the gelatin mixture by using the same mixture to join the slightly overlapped sheets.

Ana Rijo this particular ratio dries a little like leather after approx 12 hours. Weather dependant and of course how thick it's applied and what brands you choose etc. This is just a guide

It's the same as wafer paper

Yes, it can. BUT, it's different to attach. I use corn syrup as a glue and have not had any problem with the fondant melting. Keep in mind that the fabric is fiddly to cut so it's best used as decoration, rather than covering the whole cake.

Glycerine in the culprit as it is a humectant so reacts with sugar making it "melt". The drier the EdiFab is, the less trouble you will have.

Thanks Marti.

Thanks for the answer Verity. Love your tutorials.

Marcella J. Hello, all 3 recipes are available to purchase, also includes a step by step guide and lots of helpful tips. For more information please poo us an inbox at facebook.com/verityscreativecakes

ShebakesNYC she said it is printed rice paper

Wafer Paper is another name for Rice Paper.

Julie Nichols i

Hello. I don't really know what to advise as I've always used the wet solution with no problems. I hope you've figured it out x

Yes

Yes

shaebabe1 hello... it's not something we've tried yet, by all means give it a go and let us know if it works!

Hi, we are referring to the rice paper used in edible printing , which is definately edible - very cheap can be bought from most cake supply companies or even on ebay, hope this helps x

Hi, yes you can just pour onto a non stick mat but more difficult to get an even looking sheet , the hard recipe works on icing sheets so i believe but I mainly work with rice paper , would be nice if you can let us know the outcome , as for the written download just send us your email and we will send you an invoice., thank you

Hi, bovine just means beef which is the norm - most supermarkets and brands are beef , I have not tried it with pork or seaweed ( vegetarian ) if you try these maybe you could let us know if it works

Personally i would not want to keep it much after a few weeks which is ample time if you want to make something in advance

Val Duncombe That is the brand that I am using, working wonderfully well. I order from Amazon. If you add the milk or dark chocolate, I use cocoa instead of cornstarch and it worked great without traces of white dust.

Ratios was mentioned on the video. Done it many times now and it's amazing.

How did you print on rice paper? Those marks on that paper? Or those flowers? I didn't understand

Kathy A. We have 3 recipes available, all suited for different purposes as the glycerine content can react with some sugary cake coverings like fondant. The recipe in the tutorial will stay flexible but we would advise an alternative recipe to be in contact with fondant. For more info please pop us an inbox at facebook.com/verityscreativecakes

Rolkem, or lustre dusts are added instead of/ a replacement of cornflour/cornstarch

Verity Wood thank you very much for ur reply. where can i find some examples of things u have made with this or cakes u have used it on?

Think it was patterned rice/ wafer paper Clare

@@mactire3661 Ahh I see - Thankyou!

Hi either print a solid colour on the rice paper or colour the gelatine using food colouring x

Yes they are the same, you have to dust the Edsfab - you chose if it is cornflour, silver lustre dust or a coloured shimmer - your choice totally as long as it is dusted., I dont understand the last biit of your question sorry x

Verity Wood Thank you for answering😊 Sorry I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. My question pointed at if I even use (white) rice paper, even when I wanted the fabric to be coloured e.g. with silver lustre (do I always need to incorporate some kind of rice paper) or if I just colour the gelatine mix and paint it straight on the mat. But as I just read your answer I guess I make white fabric and paint it after its dried, right? Any hints on how I colour it without the lustre rubbing of with every touch? Thank you so much 😍 I'm really exited for this technique. You're a genius

she answered above print the rice paper unicolor OR add colour in the gelatine when is in the jar not after you spread it so did you try applying it directly on the mat w/o rice papaer?

delagrazia Oh thank you. I've must have missed it. No I haven't tried the edifab, yet. So if I colour the gelatine mixture I simply use plain white wafer paper?

Store as if it was any other decoration - ie sugarpaste / gumpaste etc, ..how long to keep? it depends if it is going to be eaten - if so I like to use within a few weeks, if its not going to be eaten then months ..just use common sense .

corn syrup has nothing to do with glycerin. It's not the same product.

Ericka Biggins that's Great Lakes brand gelatin, you can buy it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_phone_search_atf_aps_sr_pg1_1?ie=UTF8&adId=A022763122FSBN8P2Q0SN&url=%2Fgp%2Faw%2Fd%2FB01A1GDC34%2Fref%3Dmp_s_a_1_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1511051311%26sr%3D8-1-spons%26pi%3DAC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65%26keywords%3Dgreat%2Blakes%2Bgrass%2Bfed%2Bgelatin%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1511051311&id=299390300257793&widgetName=sp_phone_search_atf&dpPl=1&dpID=51hmPtmtdqL&ref=plSrch

I believe any unflavored/clear gelatin will do.

Hi, yes once the fabric has dried it will last a long time, but please use the right recipe for what you are making / putting it on

Sheila Baldwin Hi Sheila, I have a printer with edible ink but you can buy printed rice paper online or maybe you have a cake decorating store locally that can print the design you desire :)

I purchase my lot on ebay

Hi, I honestly cannot answer that one as not tried to paint or airbrush, I suggest you try it on a small sample before hand .

Anna Henkins hello. I'm not sure about freezing the made fabric but yes you can freeze any unused EdiFab

Many thanks!

I answered my own question by trial and error...corn syrup brushed over the fondant seemed to work the best.

You can attach it also with light chocolate or syrup as Marti mentioned.

Both are the same thing :)

This is basically just meant for decoration. You can eat it if you want - no harm coz it's edible.

@@henriq4355 I've seen it used successfully to decorate cake boards mainly., Especially for wedding cakes etc

@@maz2032 Thanks. I haven't used it for cakeboards coz the material is too small for my boards. But I've tried and used it quite a few times already and it's amazing! Thank you Verity for sharing.

I wouldn't suggest to cover a cake with this - doable though. You can probably apply a flavorful of icing if you want to do this to at least cover up for the rice paper taste. Try eating a rice paper - and it will be the same. Unless you add a flavoring to it. This is amazing idea from Verity.

Cheryl Donnelly no

Claudias Projects ....is the rice paper also called Wafer paper?

Update: I just tried it on a spring roll wrapper & it did work. Took a few minutes to get stretchy.

No. It's the same material as the 'host' they use for church communions. Or the so called wafer paper.

Edible food coloring into a regular printer. We do it all the time on sugar sheets. This is how you get photos onto cakes. Edible sugar sheets go right into a printer that's been loaded with food coloring.

That would be the edible ink and printer

DO NOT try to use an old printer that used regular inks in it and then try to replace the cartridges with edible ink. Buy a new printer that has never been used and only use edible inks in it.

For full details and tips and which recipe is best for cetain cakes you can buy the written version at Veritys creative cakes , thank you .

Hi! I can't find on FB or your web page, the written version of this tutorial. Is it possible for you to send the link? Thank you! Awesome tutorial!

facebook.com/verityscreativecakes , send a message giving your email so we can send you an invoice for £6 via paypal for the written download , thank you .

Kathryn Roberts yes it is edible ink. It isn't a cake covering, Just a decoration so no different to any problems you'd encounter with other forms of decoration... whether it be modelling paste swags or removing ribbon before cutting.

Verity Wood So you would definitely not use this with Buttercream frosting, taking it back off the cake could be a disaster

there is paper in it. how is it edible

Nergiz Qasanova it's edible rice paper

+Lucy yeah but how will you put EDIBLE INK IN D PRINTER?

MK Bakers no it is rice paper/wafer paper so it is edible

Hi, rice paper is always plain white , you print a pattern on it .

Linda Powers Comment peut-on l'imprimer? Avec une imprimante speciale j'imagine

Go to a cake store, you will find glycerin for cake there.

Ask the pharmacist for it

beht kalit Hidrata 2 cucharadas de gelatina sin sabor y dejala reposar 15 minutos, pasado ese tiempo calientala en microondas cuidando que no hierva, agrega 2 cucharadas de glicerina y mezclalo bien, vuelve a calentar sin que hierva. Aplica con una brocha sobre un papel de arroz muy rapido y por ambos lados, deja secar por un rato y despegalo con espolvoreando con maicena. Deja secar por completo. Dependiendo del clima es cuanto tarde en estar listo.

Hi, I cannot speak spanish, but written easily translated with a computer as i have done with your message, may i suggest you buy the written download and translate it?

Graciasss

Tell me how much water hydrates the gelatin without flavor. Thank you

Verity Wood Thank you very much for answering

Rice or wafer paper you can fine on Amazon

rice paper

rice paper and an edible ink printer x

You could probably also stamp with edible inks, and mix it up as you like it if you do not have such a printer. You just have to work from an empty stamp pad and load with edible ink, or some people dab it on the stamp w an inexpensive makeup sponge and not use a stamp pad. Just for budget-minded people who want to give it a go. Amazon often has inexpensive stamp sets, as does some dollar stores.

Hi, you have to let the fabric 100% dry before putting onto fondant , you can make your decoration as soon as a couple of hours after making it but let them dry for a day or two before adding to the cake then fix with royal or melted chocolate x

Hi Marie. I tried Verity's recipe and placed it on my cake with buttercream & fondant and I didn't encounter any issues at all.

@@henriq4355 I think like Verity said to make sure its dry I was practically putting on cake straight away - a blanket for a dog bed (bed being fondant covered cake)
