Squires Kitchen is one of the oldest British brands dedicated to sugarcraft and cake design, based in Surrey, England for several decades. The brand is especially recognized for the technical precision of its products, which meet the requirements of the British pastry tradition, royal icing, sugarcraft, sugar lace, modeling fine sugar paste flowers. Squires Kitchen wafer paper is part of this professional range used by English and international cake designers.

Simple composition based on potato starch and water, without additives or colorants. Gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, soy-free, nut-free, GMO-free. Suitable for special diets, gluten-free, vegan, major food allergies. Certified for direct food contact according to current European standards.

Squires Kitchen wafer paper is completely neutral in taste and smell. Once placed on or under your preparations (cakes, nougats, macarons), it melts in the mouth upon contact with moisture or saliva without leaving any aftertaste. This neutrality is essential to preserve the aromatic integrity of your creations.

Store at room temperature, away from humidity, direct heat, and sunlight. Ideally in an airtight bag or closed box to prevent absorption of ambient moisture. Properly stored, the paper retains all its properties for several months without visible degradation. If your sheets become slightly soft or sticky, it is a sign of too high ambient humidity; transfer them to a drier place quickly.

For cake designers practicing royal icing (traditional British royal icing) and sugarcraft, Squires Kitchen wafer paper is a preferred medium. Cut decorative shapes (butterflies, flowers, geometric patterns) and attach them to the cake with a drop of royal icing as glue. A light and airy visual effect typical of classic English wedding cakes.

Traditional English wedding cakes (covered with smooth sugar paste, decorated with royal icing lace) often include elements made from Squires Kitchen wafer paper, edible butterfly wings, fairy feathers, airy flowers, decorative insects. These additions add volume and movement to the cake, which would otherwise look very "flat" visually. Widely used in the "vintage chic" and "fairy tale wedding" styles.

To create wafer flowers that complement your sugar paste flowers, cut your petals with cutters, moisten very slightly, shape in 3D, and let dry. Wafer flowers provide a lightness impossible to achieve with sugar paste alone, which tends to be heavier and less visually dynamic. Combine both techniques for cake design bouquets of great finesse.

Squires Kitchen wafer paper is perfectly suited for food ink painting (with brush or spray) and printing with dedicated food printers. Create personalized designs (initials, dates, logos, photos), full decorative plaques on top of a cake, or decorative bands around tiers. The thinness of the paper allows for sharp, smudge-free printing.

Patissland offers several complementary ranges of wafer sheets according to your needs: Decora Italy wafer sheets in neutral white or colors, ready-to-use thematic Dekora wafer discs. Choose according to your project, the Squires Kitchen pack for advanced technical cake design, colored Decora sheets to save time without manual coloring, Dekora discs for themed children's birthdays.

To complete your wafer decorations in the British cake design tradition, Patissland offers several professional quality fondants. The combination of wafer + fondant + royal icing forms the technical trinity of classic English cake design. A blend of textures and finishes unmatched for traditional wedding cakes.

To cut your wafer sheets precisely, Patissland offers a range of metal cookie cutters in all shapes (flowers, butterflies, stars, letters) and accessories compatible with electronic food cutting machines. A major time saver for repeated productions.

Once your cake is decorated with the wafer elements, present it on a 12 mm cake drum, white for contemporary cake design or silver for weddings and formal events. The height of the drum provides the perfect visual base and makes it easier to safely transport your decorated creation.

Two complementary brands with different philosophies:

Squires Kitchen, United Kingdom, British cake design brand with pure royal icing and sugarcraft tradition. Pack of 10 versatile white A4 sheets for advanced technical uses.

Decora Italy, Italian cake design brand, two variants offered at Patissland: thin white A4 sheets ready to color/print, and thin colored A4 sheets ready to use.

Choose according to your style (English school vs Italian school) and your need (plain paper to color yourself vs pre-colored paper to save time).

Yes, absolutely. Edible wafer paper is completely edible and digestible. Made only from potato starch and water, it digests easily like any starch-based food. You can consume it whole without removing it from the cake. Once in the mouth, it melts within seconds upon contact with saliva.

Yes, edible wafer sheets easily overlap to create thicker or larger decorations. Slightly moisten the edges or surface between two sheets with a lightly damp brush or a light syrup, press gently, let dry for 30 minutes. The sheets bond into a single piece.

Edible wafer paper is sensitive to humidity, timing of application is crucial. Golden rule, apply your edible wafer decorations as late as possible, ideally within the hour before serving. If you apply too early, the moisture from the ganache, icing, or cream will gradually soften the decorations which may lose their shape. To fix an edible wafer decoration on a cake, use a small drop of glucose, piping gel, or sugar water as edible glue.

It depends on the ambition of the project. For a 3-tier wedding cake with moderate edible wafer decorations (a few scattered flowers and butterflies), 5 to 7 sheets are usually enough, the pack of 10 provides a comfortable margin. For a very ambitious project with massive edible wafer decorations (whole sheets, dozens of flowers), plan for several packs or opt for the larger formats available in the Decora range.
