Video Colorful Wafer Paper Balloons for Cakes

Discover the joys of this mouthwatering recipe for decorating your cake with delightful balloon shapes! Start with some thin wafer paper and a brush to apply dry food coloring—don’t forget to color both sides for a vibrant finish. Once your wafer paper is ready, cut it into balloon shapes using a stencil for that perfect look. Next, to ensure these colorful balloons stay upright, prepare a wire for support by inserting it into the layers of wafer paper. This stability is key! Now, glue together 10 to 12 layers of your colored wafer paper at the center with a thin strip of water, giving depth to your balloons. For an added touch, create a beautiful basket using gumpaste. Shape it and add some texturing for that decorative flair. Finally, it’s time to attach your lovely balloons to the side of the cake using chocolate or liquid ganache. Make sure they're secured well to the wire for extra support. What a wonderful way to elevate your cake!
