Wafer Paper & Sugar Sheets
Unleash your cake decorating creativity with edible wafer paper – the light, versatile medium transforming cakes into edible art.
Whether you're wrapping tall tiers, crafting lifelike flowers or printing custom toppers, wafer paper offers endless possibilities. At The Vanilla Valley, we stock everything from plain wafer sheets to pre-printed A4 and A3 designs, making it easy for beginners and professionals alike to achieve stunning effects.
Today’s cake trends are bursting with wafer paper techniques. Think sculpted ruffles, delicate florals, bold sails, and full-height cake wraps – all lightweight, eye-catching, and completely edible. Brands like Saracino, Aimee Ford, EPS and our own Vanilla Valley collections are paving the way with ready-to-use patterns, cut-out decorations, and print-ready sheets. With a few clever folds or a touch of edible glue, wafer paper brings dimension and drama to even the simplest bake.
One of the most common questions is the difference between wafer paper and icing sheets. Wafer paper is a thin, starch-based sheet with no backing, perfect for light layering and easy sticking. Icing sheets are thicker, with a sweet vanilla flavour and plastic backing, great for bolder prints or photo cakes. Both are compatible with edible ink printers, though wafer paper tends to feed more easily – just make sure to print on the smooth side and use a dedicated food-safe printer.
Not a printer user? No problem! Our pre-printed edible wafer paper designs in A4 and A3 sizes are a fast, fabulous way to create a cake wrap or accent. We also stock multipacks of blank wafer paper in various sizes, as well as pre-cut shapes like butterflies and florals, so you can jump straight into decorating with no scissors required. One pack goes a long way – and with our quality and variety, it’s no wonder decorators across the UK come to us first.
